Chapter 23: Europe, 1815-1848
The Legacy of the French Revolution- Charles X and his aristocratic supporters wanted to pretend that the French Revolution was just a bad dream. In their vision of France, power and prestige were concentrated in the hands of the aristocracy and the church, the press existed to promulgate official propaganda, and bourgeoisie quietly paid taxes, playing no role in shaping the policies those taxes went to support. Reexamine Delacroix's painting "Liberty Leading the People" on page 567. When you're done, write a short essay analyzing this painting. Who are "the people"? What did Delacroix and the supporters of the Revolution of 1830 mean by liberty? How did they connect their actions to the events of 1789?
