How did the peasants respond to the state taking over the church during the french revolution?

During the French Revolution, when the state nationalized church property and instituted the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, many peasants responded with resistance and discontent. While some supported the revolutionary changes, particularly those who were aligned with Enlightenment ideals, many rural communities remained loyal to the Catholic Church and its traditions. This led to widespread unrest, including revolts like the Vendée uprising, where peasants fought to protect their religious practices and oppose government interference in church affairs. The division between revolutionary supporters and loyalists to the Church highlighted the complexities of the Revolution's impact on rural society.

Why did a great fear sweep through France?

Peasants during the beginning months of the French Revolution were afraid that their landlords would hire groups of thugs to come and destroy all of their crops. There was no plan like this, and it was all a rumour. But the peasants believed it because the Revolution was bringing talk of new rights for the peasants, and the peasants thought that their landlords would never allow this to happen. The peasants responded by burning all of their deeds that they owed to the landowners.
