Chapter 2: The Revolutionary Period

When in 1789 the National Assembly, which had assembled to establish an absolute monarchy, permitted Paoli to return to Corsica, Napoleon requested leave and in the month of September signed up with Paoli's group. However, Paoli had no compassion for the boy, whose dad had deserted his cause and whom he considered to be an immigrant. Disappointed, Napoleon went back to France, and in the month of April 1791 he was designated initially lieutenant to the fourth program of weapons, garrisoned at Valence. He at the same time signed up with the Jacobin Club, a disputing civilization at first favouring an absolute monarchy, and quickly became its president, making speeches against nobles, monks, and bishops. In September 1791 he got leave to return to Corsica again for 3 months. Chosen lieutenant colonel in the country guard, he quickly fell out with Paoli, its leader in chief. When he could not return to France, he was noted as a deserter in the month of January 1792. However, in the month of April France announced war against Austria, and his offense was forgiven.
