Editing Camisards (section)

=== Role in the survival of Protestantism in France ===
After the main active Camisard groups had been subdued in various ways, the French authorities were keen not to re-ignite the revolt and took a more moderate approach to anti-Protestant repression. Many former Camisards came back to a more peaceful approach and from 1715 onwards helped re-establish a still illegal but now much better organised Protestantism. They were under the leadership of [[Antoine Court]] and of the numerous travelling pastors who were permitted to re-enter the country.<ref>Philippe Joutard, Les Camisards, Gallimard 1976, rédité en coll.
