Excerpt from The French Colonial Question 1789-1791: Dealings of the Constituent Assembly With Problems Arising From the Revolution in the West Indies To the friends who have helped me I hereby acknowledge my obligations. Professor Charles O. Hardy, of Ottawa Uni versity, who is making a study of the mulattoes in the West Indies, more than once placed valuable bits of information freely at my disposal. Professor Edward Raymond Turner, of the University of Michigan, read a part of my manuscript and from time to time gave me advice and encouragement. Professor Charles H. Hull, of Cornell University, read the entire manu script and gave me a valuable suggestion which I tried to adopt. To Mr. Willard H. Austen, Librarian of Cornell University, I am especially grateful for many courtesies. He allowed me the freedom of the stacks and permitted me to collect all pertinent material in an alcove where I could work in peace and comfort. During my researches in the Archives Nationales, I was guided and assisted by Messrs. Waldo G. Leland and Abel Doysie, of the Carnegie Bureau for Historical Research. To all these friends I take pleasure in acknowledging my gratitude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The People's Revolution of 1789 analyzes the historic events that unleashed a vast panoply of anarchic, destructive, and creative disorders that demolished France's Old Regime and founded a new revolutionary order. It captures the complex and dynamic interplay of uprisings, elections, meetings, and revolutionary moments that helped create modern freedom. The People's Revolution of 1789 is the first book to chronicle the Parisian, provincial, and colonial movements of 1789 together. In doing so, Micah Alpaugh builds from hundreds of local and regional studies and sources on the French Revolution to provide a new interpretation of the powerful contestations that created the modern revolutionary tradition. He explores the multiplicity of movements—anarchistically operating without a common leader and usually in only loose coordination—that gave the revolutionary dynamic its power, without which the legislators' revolution at Versailles would have failed or been severely curtailed. The rapid onslaught of protests across the First Year of Liberty compounded their effects, overpowering authorities' efforts to maintain a degenerating order and forcing the establishment of a more open system. The People's Revolution of 1789 reveals in new ways how the French revolutionaries ended feudalism, established human rights, abolished the police, and instituted new elected governments. By returning emphasis to the people's revolution, we can better understand how world history's most consequential revolution developed, as millions of French people embraced direct action in hopes of fundamental change. Through the movements of millions, the French created the most powerful revolution the world had yet experienced.

From the Sons of Liberty to British reformers, Irish patriots, French Jacobins, Haitian revolutionaries and American Democrats, the greatest social movements of the Age of Atlantic Revolutions grew as part of a common, interrelated pattern. In this new transnational history, Micah Alpaugh demonstrates the connections between the most prominent causes of the era, as they drew upon each other's models to seek unprecedented changes in government. As Friends of Freedom, activists shared ideas and strategies internationally, creating a chain of broad-based campaigns that mobilized the American Revolution, British Parliamentary Reform, Irish nationalism, movements for religious freedom, abolitionism, the French Revolution, the Haitian Revolution, and American party politics. Rather than a series of distinct national histories, Alpaugh shows how these movements jointly responded to the Atlantic trends of their era to create a new way to alter or overthrow governments: mobilizing massive social movements.
