caption_attribution_description: Français&#160;: Au premier plan à gauche est étendu sur une civière le corps sans vie de Charles Éléonor Dufriche-Valazé qui s'était poignardé dans la salle d'audience du Tribunal révolutionnaire à l'énoncé de la condamnation à mort. Il existe de cet événement légendaire plusieurs interprétations dont celle peinte par François Flameng (1856-1923), intitulée L'Appel des Girondins, le 30 octobre 1793 ou Le Dernier Repas des Girondins, interrompu par l’appel pour la guillotine, 31 octobre 1793
context_page_description: The Federalist revolts were uprisings that broke out in various parts of France in the summer of 1793, during the French Revolution. They were prompted by resentments in France's provincial cities about increasing centralisation of power in Paris, and increasing radicalisation of political authority in the hands of the Jacobins. In most of the country the trigger for uprising was the exclusion of the Girondins from the Convention after the Insurrection of 31 May – 2 June 1793. Although they shared common origins and political objectives, the revolts were not centrally organised or well-coordinated. The revolts failed to win any sustained popular support and were put down by the armies of the Convention over the following months. The Reign of Terror was then imposed across France to punish those associated with them and to enforce Jacobin ideology.
context_section_description: The Federalist revolt, violently suppressed by the Convention, prompted the strengthening of the Reign of Terror and increasing centralisation of power. Armed with dictatorial powers, the représentants en mission managed to put down unrest, but in the process the decentralisation intended in the Constitution of 1791 could not be realised. On 24 October 1793 the trial began of those Girondin/Federalist leaders who had been captured.  Of the twenty-two brought to trial, all were found guilty and all were sent to the guillotine on 31 October.
  Of those who remained at large, some were captured and executed individually.  Others, including Barbaroux, Buzot, Condorcet, Grangeneuve, Guadet, Kersaint, Pétion, Rabaut de Saint-Etienne, Roland and Rebecqui, committed suicide. Only a few escaped, including Jean-Baptiste Louvet de Couvrai.
