Lazare Carnot

Died: August 182
French Soldier Republican

=
In 1789, when the french revolution began, i became deeply involved in politics. I became a delegate to the Legislation in 1791. I was also elected to the Committee for Public Instruction. I strongly believe that all citizens should be educated and as a member of that committee, i have written a series of reforms for the teaching and educational systems. However they have not been implemented due to the violent social and economic climate of the Revolution. It is true that i was one of the men who voted for the execution of our recent king Louis XIV, because it is my desire to one day see France strong enough to defend itself, and its ideals, against the reactionary nations intent on destroying it. I proved my abilities as a talented soldier by helping to win the battle of Wattingnies. I also fought with Robespierre and his followers, but that saved my life when they fell from power.=====
