Robespierre was a poor, well-educated activist and politician who would seize power during the French Revolution. And yet, today he is not remembered for his work on universal male voting rights, price controls for basic food needs, and abolishing slavery in the French Colonies, but for his Reign of Terror. How did an intelligent man driven by morals of freedom and justice end up executing thousands in a mad grab to maintain power? Follow his fascinating descent from the Hero of the Republic to its true enemy.
