The Jacobins.
The Third Estate
The third estate, made up of peasants, artisans and workers, which was 97% of the population, were those who benefited from the French Revolution. In particular the Bourgeoisie, a section of the third estate who were relatively wealthy, such as bankers, lawyers, doctors and other similar professions, benefited the most from the French Revolution because the Revolution put them in power. The first and the second estates, meaning the clergy and nobility, were the groups that lost the most from the French Revolution. They would not recover their pre-Revolution position until the Congress of Vienna of 1815 reinstated the French monarchy.
The second phase of the French Revolution, often referred to as the Radical Phase, occurred due to increasing discontent with the moderate reforms of the early revolution and the rising threats from both internal and external enemies. Economic hardship, political instability, and the fear of counter-revolution fueled radical groups like the Jacobins, who sought more profound social and political changes. The execution of King Louis XVI in 1793 marked a shift toward more extreme measures, leading to the Reign of Terror, where perceived enemies of the revolution were ruthlessly suppressed. This phase ultimately aimed to defend the revolution against its adversaries and implement a more egalitarian society.
The radical group boycotted taxes and inspired revolts against the British. They fueled tensions between the colonies and the British.

They wanted a democratic revolution within and of patriotic defiance to the European powers without.Jacobins were the ones who wanted radical change and the Girondins were the ones who wanted conservative change.

Initially, many Americans welcomed the news of the French Revolution, seeing it as a continuation of their own struggle for liberty and a fight against tyranny. The revolution inspired enthusiasm among various groups, particularly those who valued democratic ideals and republicanism. However, as the revolution progressed and became more radical, opinions became divided, with some Americans growing concerned about the violence and instability in France. Overall, the initial response was largely positive, reflecting a sense of solidarity with the French people's quest for freedom.
Several radical groups threatened to undermine the new republic, including the Jacobins during the French Revolution, who advocated for extreme political change and the use of violence to achieve their goals. In the United States, groups like the Shaysites, who revolted against economic injustices, and later, the various factions within the anti-federalists, challenged the stability of the newly formed government. Additionally, the Bolsheviks in Russia aimed to overthrow the provisional government in favor of a radical socialist regime. These groups often sought to disrupt established order, posing significant challenges to fledgling republics.
