A Poor Man's View on the Revolution of 1830

As a peasant, I must say I've been royally pissed (pun intended) recently, although I'm pleased with this latest insurrection. When Louis XVIII signed the Constitutional Charter of 1814, the people were protected against a return to absolutism and high times for the aristocracy. However, Charles X, that pretentious,greedy bastard, tried to repudiate the charter. BOO THAT MAN. In any case, that was a lot of chaos and it brought about the expulsion of Charles X. Now all things better but not perfect since Louis Philippe, Charles X's successor, took the reigns.
