In early 1793 the government ordered the conscription of 300,000 troops from the south of [[France]]. On the 11 March 1793, four departments south of the Loire river revolted. The discontent was not limited to the troop levy. Under the new government, this region was paying more [[tax]]es then they had under the [[monarchy]].
