So why do you think people view Maximilien Robespierre "evil"?
He is blamed for killing over 17,000 people, and is blamed for the execution of Louis XVI.
- throughout his life he never had a position allowed him to execute others, during this time that power was given to the Committee of General Security and not the Committee of Public Safety(12 people committee).
- he wasn't the only voted for the execution of Louis XVI, in fact their was a total of 693 deputies voted for the death of Louis XVI
- he was called "the Incorruptible" by the people
so why do you think he is seen as "evil"?
