HEY USER !!

HERE IS UR ANSWER -

Jacobins were the followers of saint jacob who belongs to less propatied section. They wore full knee breeches to prove themselves different from rich classes and hence they are known as sanscullotes. they also used to wear red caps.

The period between 1793-1794 is known as reign of terror because during this period the leader of jacobins Maxmillian Robespiere ran the government with serve control and punishment. He killed those people who critisized the government by using guillotine.The reign of terror was disliked by the people and robespiere himself was guillotined and his rule was ended.

A Jacobin was a member of the Jacobin Club, a revolutionary political movement that was the most famous political club during the French Revolution (1789–99). The club was so called from the Dominican convent where they originally met, in the Rue Saint-Jacques  in Paris. Today, the terms "Jacobin" and "Jacobinism" are used in a variety of senses. Jacobin is sometimes used in Britain as a pejorative for radicalleft-wing revolutionary politics , especially when it exhibits dogmatism and violent repression. In France, Jacobin now generally indicates a supporter of a centralized republican state and strong central government powers and/or supporters of extensive government intervention to transform society.


The Reign of Terror, or The Terror , is the label given by some historians to a period during the French Revolution after the First French Republic was established.

Several historians consider the "reign of terror" to have begun in 1793, placing the starting date at either 5 September, June or March (birth of the Revolutionary Tribunal), while some consider it to have begun in September 1792 (September Massacres), or even July 1789 (when the first be headings by guillotine took place),but there is a consensus that it ended with the fall of Maximilien Robespierre in July 1794.

Between June 1793 and the end of July 1794, there were 16,594 official death sentences in France, of which 2,639 were in Paris.
