 <\/p>\n

Now for the quiz questions.<\/p>\n

On April 3, we asked: Name the famous prison in Paris that was stormed during the French Revolution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer: The Bastille<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On April 7, we asked: True or False–Marie Antoinette said, “Let them eat cake,” at the beginning of the French Revolution.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer: False. Marie Antoinette never said, “Let them eat cake.” However, rumors that she had indeed responded to the plight of the peasants by uttering such a cruel statement spread through Paris, and the false quote found it’s way into many a political pamphlet at the beginning of the revolution.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On April 10, we asked:\u00a0True or False–After it was stormed, the Bastille was torn down and the stones were used to build a bridge.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer: True. The stones from the Bastille were used to build the Pont de la Concorde<\/em> (Concorde Bridge). The bridge, which crosses the Seine River, is still used today.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On April 14, we asked:\u00a0True or False: The majority of the people killed during the Reign of Terror were peasants.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer: True. Sadly, most of France’s rich and affluent had fled France long before the Reign of Terror. Most historians estimate that 85% of those killed during this period were the very peasants that the revolution was supposed to be fighting for.<\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to come back tomorrow for a guest post by Regency author Regina Scott!<\/p>\n
