The French Revolution is most likely to be compared to the American Revolution because the French peasants had gotten the idea of the American's Constitution and the idea of rebelling from the leader.
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.
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.
