The movers of America's revolution were upper-middle-class and churched people, accustomed to work or supervision.
The movers of the French revolution were plutocratic, selfish, and morally decadent.
Different ingredients, different results.
I’m pretty sure that’s pretty much what I said, in a different way.
God was the foundation for everything the Americans did. He wasn’t for the French. They built their house on the shifting sand of human “wisdom,” wqhich of course isn’t wisdom at all. It just has the appearance of being so to those who don’t know God.
Unfortunately, our foundation is being steadily eroded. That’s why the building is beginning to sag, and cracks are appearing in the structure.
The danger is that the collapse will come before we have the opportunity to shore up the foundations. If it does, God help the inhabitants.
Although the worst violence of the French revolution was committed by the urban lower middle class. I remember one of the mobs being led by a blacksmith who cornered a “counterrevolutionary,” and ripped his heart out of his chest and took a bite of it. Must of inspired Spielberg in Temple of Doom.
