[QUOTE=Seth Campbell;611359]The French helped what, the South to lose? As for Napoleon, he killed all of the royalty so he could make himself royalty, not exactly what I would call a higher motive.
Now i dont want to sound like a know it all, but Napoleon had nothing to do with the execution of the nobles of france, actually Napoleon was AGAINST the executions, and at the time Napoleon had no political power whatsoever. In fact he was living in a shabby apartment and was only able to afford eating one meal a day. How do you figure that a guy who can only afford one meal a day, maneuvered the political warfield that was France and got the royal family of France executed? Furthermore, the french people CHOSE Napoleon to lead them, now i fear some of you might come with comments like: "Wow the french chose poorly" So just to strike that down before it becomes an issue, Napoleon was a tactical genius, a political mastermind and last but certainly not least, Napoleon Bonaparte was a man of the people, he made changes that gave the average French citizen a far better life than they could possibly have had under the royal family, and talking higher motive, Napoleons "Higher motive" was the education and wellbeing of the french people. Now i dont now about you, but to me he sounds like a pretty good guy.
