Task C. NOTE: this is a slightly modified source analysis/position paper assignment that requires you to use skills sets from both.  Just follow the format listed below:

  • Paragraph 1 -Introduce the source and  explain what the source conveys about Robespierre

  • Paragraph 2 - Briefly explain the historical events at this time and detail Robespierre's actions during the reign of terror.  Then connect the significance of his actions to the source.
  • Paragraph 3 - Explain the main point one can deduce from this source and tell how this source helps us to better understand the topic. 
  • Paragraph 4 - Finally, with respect to the Reign of Terror, explain whether the end justified the means and support your response with reference to specific events surrounding the Reign of Terror.
  • (be sure to combine all paragraphs into essay format).
NOTE: this can be expanded to more paragraphs, if you like.  Just be sure to follow the paragraph guideline (above).  For example, you may want to expand your discussion of Robespierre's actions to 3 or 4 paragraphs. You can do so as long as you complete your analysis by answering and supporting the question, "Did the end justify the means?"

SOURCE:

François Barras: This would make you dictator of France.
Maximilian Robespierre: Yes.
François Barras: We didn't storm the Bastille to make any man dictator.
Maximilian Robespierre: I'm not "any man".

What does this quote convey about Robespierre? Then, assess Robespierre's actions during the Reign of Terror. Did the end justify the means, as he stated, or was this period unnecessary in solidifying the revolution?
