September Massacres

September Massacres is a name given to an indiscriminate slaughter in Paris which commenced on Sunday afternoon, September 2, 1792, "a black day in the annals of men," when 30 priests on their way to prison were torn from the carriages that conveyed them, and massacred one after the other, all save Abbé Secard, in the streets by an infuriated mob. The mob continued thereafter through horror after horror for a hundred hours long, all done in the name of justice and in mock form of law - a true Reign of Terror.
