Beginning in March 1793, « les Blancs », the Vendeans, and « les Bleus », the Republicans, clashed for three years. If the historiography has long favored the battle-history of the wars of the Vendée, the archives, mainly from the point of view of the revolutionaries, reveal another little-known story- that of persons caught in the daily life of a civil war, where the commonplace rubbed shoulders with the exceptional. Reflections on the writing of history, war anthropology, and the history of sensibilities have demonstrated their methodological usefulness to the knowledge of the wars of the French Revolution. These approaches, combined with micro-history, make it possible to get close to civilians and soldiers plunged in fratricidal conflict. Indeed, they can shed light, from an innovative angle, on what experiencing the Revolution in the military Vendée could have meant particularly for the Republicans engaged in the operations of the « colonnes ».
