Abstract
- The article discusses the problems related to land ownership and agriculture during the French Revolution. It describes political issues surrounding the peasant class and land ownership in light of the egalitarian and libertarian values of the Revolution. It then discusses the forced sale of Church property to the state, along with the disenfranchisement of the immigrant class. Famine and the problem of hunger are discussed, along with budgetary disputes concerning land strictures and land reform in the French general assembly. Other subjects under discussion include the legacy of Feudalism, the relationship between the peasant class and the bourgeoisie, and the sale of national assets to speculators.
