Jacobins

The Jacobin Club was the most famous political club of the French Revolution. So called from the Dominican convent, where they originally met, in the Rue St. Jacques, Paris. At that time, the term was popularly applied to all supporters of revolutionary opinions. In contemporary France it refers to the concept of a centralized Republic, with power concentrated in the national government, at the expense of local or regional governments.

The Jacobins sure were a rowdy bunch, always wanting to have a revolution and FUCK WOMEN.

The Jacobins were known for creating a strong government that operated through fear to wage war, spread republican ideals and surpress economic chaos, and internal rebellion, through what became known as the red terror.

This also included establishing the world's first universal military draft as a solution to filling army ranks to put down civil unrest and prosecute war, by declaring war on Austria and Prussia.
