Hebertists

The hebertists , sometimes called the “exaggerated ”, are under the Législative and the Convention the partisans of Jacques-Rene Hébert, ultra-revolutionary.

They were the burning propagators of the worship of the Reason and supported with force the movement of Déchristianisation. They were also the principal craftsmen of the fall of the Girondins (May 31st and June 2nd, 1793), claimed the all-out war as well civil as external and made pressure on the Convention to radicalize it, obtaining the promulgation of political measurements ( Loi of the suspects , September 17th, 1793) and economic ( Loi of the general maximum , September 1793) strong. The Committee of public hello, thus threatened on its left, decided the arrest of the hebertists. The leaders of the movement were guillotines the March 24th 1794. Their disappearance deeply disorientated the popular movement of the Without-culotterie.
