Addition to the section

I am proposing to add to the section on émigrés to America. It would be beneficial to provide more information regarding the demographics of these émigrés. The current page states that many of them were older and left France as individuals, but does not provide details about their socioeconomic status, reasons for and methods of leaving France, and their reception in America. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Megancelinasam (talk • contribs) 17:10, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs a rewrite. It reads like a high school student's term paper, with confused and disjointed wording, broad generalizations, lack of specifics, and several historical errors. Prime example: "Rousseau, a philosophe influential in the Enlightenment and fellow Jacobin, spread the idea of a "collective will", a singular purpose which the people of a nation must all unequivocally support." Jean-Jacques Rousseau died in 1778, over a decade before the Jacobin club came into existence, well before the Revolution... How could he then be a "fellow Jacobin?" In addition, the section on Émigré armies needs considerable expansion, or at least a link to the Army of Conde article. Lorzu (talk) 04:50, 19 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
