The growing violence of the French Revolution resulted in various consequences. The Reign of Terror, led by Maximilien Robespierre, resulted in the execution of thousands of people, including political opponents and perceived enemies of the revolution. The violence also sparked a wave of fear and instability in France, leading to a loss of public support for the revolution and the rise of more conservative forces. Additionally, the violence and chaos of the revolution contributed to the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and the establishment of the French Consulate and later the French Empire.
he most likely would have supported it at first because America was in favor of the decline of monarchy's after they broke away from their own monarchy. He probably would not have liked it towards the end though because of all of the violence,
Some of the reason the American Revolution was able to avoid the violence of the French Revolution were that what happened was an accelerated evolution rather than an outright revolution. During the conflict people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Many of them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting and the most isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was going on. if this is from the American pageant book it is because cheap land was easily available :)
hum french revolution? you mean 1789 revolution?
No violence. The new King arrived by invitation.

Absolutely bloody and violent. As said by Schama, violence was the motor that kept the revolution going.
