Ever wonder where the phrase 'lynch mob' comes from?

After the American Revolution, there was a judge named Lynch who had such a habit of hanging Loyalists, that his name became synonymous with the act of hanging. And the bloodthirsty mobs that attended each 'lynching' became known as 'lynch mobs'.

So, in other words, the American Revolution also had its fair share of terror.

Be that as it may, that doesn't mean that the French revolution was not rooted in the same ideals as the American.

Hold on, You are compairing the violence that came after the American revolution to the French. That is like compairing a murder to the World Trade Center Attacks. Yes there was backlash after the war, but nothing in comparison to the years of public executions and mock trials that the French did to their own loyal citizens.
