Description
Excerpt from The Companions of Jehu, Vol. 1 of 2
The result of the 13th Vendémiaire was that the minority of the Councils, who were chosen by the electors to sit with the two thirds chosen from members of the Convention, were taken from the party hostile to the Convention; and the majority met this expression of the wishes of the nation by choosing five regicides to the Directory, - Barras, Carnot, Rewbell, La reveillere-lepaux, and Le tourneur. As one third of the Councils changed every year, but only one fifth of the Directory, it was not long before the executive with a majority of regicides found itself at open war with Councils which contained a majority of reactionaries.
