VI. June
In June the republic closed the National Workshops, and the east of the city rose behind four hundred barricades. The government gave a general full powers and the general brought up the guns.
One way “The June Days” can end
The workshops stayed open, at least for a time, and the Republic learned that it could not govern Paris against the faubourgs.
Otherwise
When it was over, there were thousands dead and eleven thousand prisoners, and the Republic had a general's face.
One way “The June Days” can end
The Archbishop's walk between the lines bought three days of silence on the barricades.
Otherwise
The Archbishop climbed the barricade of the Faubourg Saint-Antoine with a green branch, and was shot there by a bullet nobody would claim.
