The Revolution of 1848-1849 in Făgăraș Country. Realities and Events

Summary/Abstract: The revolution between 1848–1849 represented one of the events with a major impact on Transylvania’s history and society, even if the forty-eighter Hungarian legislation tended in some domains towards European democracy, decreeing Hungarian nation as the only civil and political nation, and the forced joining of Transylvania to Hungary, led to a total rejection of these decisions by the Romanian nation. From the spring of 1848 until the end of the civil war in the summer of next year, the essential problem of the Romanian people represented the fight against the „union” with Hungary. At the same time, the refusal of Hungarian revolution leaders to take into consideration the social and national claims of the Romanians, embittered them much more. On this background of revolutionary events and reality is registered the present approach, by which it is intended to reveal some of the efforts, sacrifices and human offerings of the Romanians from Făgăraș County on the altar of national human perpetuation in Transylvania. The impetuously progress of the revolutionary actions included the entire Romanian society from here, even if it didn’t reach the valences from other areas, as in Apuseni especially.
