"La ligue noire" - French Counter-Revolutionary Song

In 1793 the people of Lyon, who favoured a constitutional monarchy or a federative republic, rose against the dictaturship of the Jacobins and the economical crisis. A battle occured on 7th an 8th october, after which Lyon suffered terrible and bloody represals, even losing her name to become "Freed Town".

The historical context is false. They rebels of Lyon were NOT against revolution or in favour of any kind of monarchy. During the French revolution the revolutionaries were divided between the "Girondins" and the "Montagnards". The Montagnards won and massacred most of the Girondins. The revolutionaries were bloody despotic dictators like Robespierre. The peopel of Lyon rebelled against " la convention" which was the regime set in place by the montagnards. They paid with their life. The girondins made a circumstantial alliance with monarchists because they had a common enemy: "La montagne" but they were not fighting to restore monarchy. Their political line was a lot more about FEDERALISM. They wanted interdependent regions allied in a federation. Actually they wanted to be like the USA or like Germany: A federation. Many people descibe them as royalists because history is written by the winners, and centralist have won the battle in France, making the place the most successful communist country in the world and the least successful capitalist place in the same time. I cry when I listen to this song because this is one hell of a sorry event. In Lyon in 1793, liberty was massacred and dictatorship celebrated.

A lot of provinces actually revolted. Vendéens and Chouans in Vendée and Brittany made a monarchist uprising that went very brutal (the Vendéens say today that it was a genocide but I strongly disagree). The whole south of France was in trouble and there were federalist uprisings in all major cities : Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Marseille, as well as revolts in Normandy, Burgundy and Provence. This is the beginning of a period called "la Terreur". Every city that rebelled was devasted and in cities that were still loyal, the guillotine was massively used to kill everyone that was suspected to be a counter-revolutionnary. This massacre continued for one year from summer 1793 to the 28th of July 1794 with the death of Robespierre

Chant du 5ème escadron (81/04) du 1er régiment de cuirassiers de Saint-Wendel "Allemagne "

[@philippesuvigny3667]

Il ne s'agit pas d'un chant contre-révolutionnaire. Il s'agit d'un chant girondin, créé lors de l'insurrection fédéraliste lyonnaise. Cependant il fut probablement aussi chanté par des royalistes, à commencer par le comte de Précy (dont il est question dans la chanson), alliés de circonstance des girondins face aux montagnards, l'ennemi commun.

[@vio1789]

C'est étonnant le nombre de référence aux cultes gréco-latin dans la chanson, sans doute en référence a l'époque où Lyon était capitale des Gaulles. Et c'est tout aussi étonnant de voir des royalistes chanté les louanges de mourrir pour la liberté et la patrie, quand la monarchie absolue demandais a ses soldats de mourrir pour le roi. Enfin, même pour un partisan Jacobins comme moi, la chanson est très belle et viens du cœur de ceux qui l'ont composé et chanté. Alors ça mérite notre respect.

[@avabruck5817]

Ce ne sont pas des royalistes, mais des républicains, considérés comme trop modérés par le comité de salut public de Paris. C’est une lutte intestine entre différent courants révolutionnaires, qui a éclaté en une lutte sanglante puis en répression (épisode du mitraillage de Lyon par Fouché)

[@vio1789]

@@avabruck5817 J'avais vue ça oui, Lyon a subis une grande répression de la part de la convention nationale pour écraser les soutiens des Girondins considérer comme traître. En effet la ville s'était révolté après qu'à Paris, de nombreux girondins ai été arrêté. Mais de ce que j'ai vue même si Lyon en elle même était visiblement partisans des girondins dans un grande proportion, les auteurs du chant en lui même serais d'inclinaison royaliste. Enfin c'est surtout un groupe hétéroclite de gens uni contre leur ennemis commun qu'est la révolution, donc rien d'étonnant de trouver de tout dedant.

[@footeuxasesheures]

On y perçoit tout de même l'influence certaine d'autres chants révolutionnaires comme La Marseillaise. Ainsi le passage : "Gauthier, scélérat perfide (...) Et toi, Crancé, parricide ! L'horreur de tous les français. Ambitieux et sanguinaires, les lyonnais sont tous prêts (...) mais punirons vos forfaits. " présente des similitudes avec cette strophe de La Marseillaise : Tremblez, tyrans, et vous, perfides, L'opprobre de tous les partis, Tremblez ! vos projets parricides Vont enfin recevoir leurs prix ! Tout est soldat pour vous combattre, S'ils tombent, nos jeunes héros, La terre en produit de nouveaux, Contre vous tout prêts à se battre !
