Jacobin. During the French Revolution the Société des Jacobins, a radical club or society active beginning in 1789, was responsible for many extreme measures, including the bloody Reign of Terror in which thousands were killed. Though it be- gan as a liberal organization, its name in the form of Jacobin came to mean any extreme political radical, as it does today. The Jacobins, only 3,000 strong, managed to control the French Revolution until their leader Robespierre’s death in 1794, when they went underground. Five years later the group was finally suppressed.
