Although A Tale of Two Cities is a work of fiction, most of the information about the Reign of Terror is true. Write in your own words, three salient features of the Reign of Terror
Revolutionary extremism: during the Reign of Terror, which is part of the French Revolution, some extremes measures were taken in the name of the revolution: for example, the calendar was measured, and measurement standards were modified as well.
Anti-clericalism: the revolutionaries were anti-clerical, that is to say: they hated the Catholic Church (the dominant Church in France). Many clerics were executed during this time.
General paranoia: the revolutionary leaders were becoming increasingly paranoid, to the point that they executed many people on very thin accusations of treason.
