Reference states the opposite "robespierre"

[edit]

Article states:

"David Bradford, it was said, was comparing himself to Robespierre, a leader of the French Reign of Terror."

This as ONE of the sources uses: "Slaughter 1986, pp. 188–89;" however when I went to look this source up it states the opposite:

"Still there was no organized movement with clearly defined goals. No individuals with the talents of Sam Adams, John Wilkes, or Robespierre emerged to unite and direct this inchoate movement of disgruntled frontiersmen."

Certainly reference should be removed or cited in opposition to the other reference?Msj242 (talk) 04:21, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that Slaughter does not support the claim that Bradford was comparing himself to Robespierre. Perhaps Hogeland does?
I looked for it in Crytzer, and found this on page 90: "He was truly a man of the era of revolution, a Robespierre of the West, and ..." Crytzer is speaking in an ironic voice. This doesn't directly help us figure out who, right then and there, might have compared Bradford to Robespierre. Bruce leverett (talk) 23:52, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Higginbotham?

[edit]

Two footnotes are citations to a book by "Higginbotham", but there is no such book in the bibliography. Can anyone suggest where we should look for this? Bruce leverett (talk) 23:41, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
