After months of negotiations with the rebels in Paris, Kosciuszko grew weary of the French Revolution, which had started out as a democratic movement but was degenerating into a quest for revenge. The Jacobins and Girondists were at one anothers’ throats. The Polish rebel came to the conclusion that the French revolutionaries were only interested in how a Polish diversion would benefit their own cause. Citizen Kosciuszko left Paris empty handed.
