I meant whether there was any push for regionalist ideology within revolutionary forces and thinkers. It seems strange that *no one* would argue for a federal republic. Didn't any of the revolutionaries from Marseille or Strasbourg worry about their culture and language being subsumed into Parisian French?
I think it was A.G. who said the Paris Commune ultimately wanted a federalist France, like the Girondins did.
I don't know a whole lot about the Girondins, but maybe they weren't into centralized power.
