I've just finished reading Victor Hugo's Quatrevingt-treize, and have now dived into Citizens, a history of the French Revolution. Both are.....breathtaking reading thus far, to say the least. It strikes me that by comparison to La Révolution, its American predecessor comes off as a rather stately affair. With this in mind, here is my challenge: using any means required short of going full-ASB, make the American Revolution as, shall we say, EXTREEEEEEEME as it's fabulous French counterpart! Loony-bin political factions, mass executions, Reign of Terror, La Convention Glorieuse, the works! I'm looking to have at least half of the Founding Fathers to have guillotined the other half by the time this mess is through. Whoo-hoo!
Maximum bonus points if you can somehow get an American Napoleon out of it all (oh but then what would he conquer? Proto-Canada? Spanish Florida?? LAME). Or is any of this even possible? Well, only one way to find out!
Have ye at it!
