Forradalom és szabadságharc Vas megyében - Révész József: Forradalom és szabadságharc Vas megyében
28 Windisch-Graetz herceg kiáltványa (II /S3) Proclamation by Imperial Royal Marshal Windisch-Graetz hurcolt be valaki. E ragályos betegségről igen részletes leírások maradtak ránk. A visszatérő császári csapatok azonnal megkezdték a „régi rendszer" visszaállítását és a forradalom vívmányainak eltörlését. A kezdetben bevezetett katonai igazgatás feladata a régiúj rend alapjainak lerakása és megszilárdítása volt. Azok ellen, akik vezető szerepet játszottak a forradalomban és a szabadságharcban, letartóztatási parancsot adtak ki. Hajsza indult Wimmer Ágoston után, Vidos Józsefnek a kőszegi események kapcsán kellett tisztáznia magát. A lakosok jelentéseket, beszámolókat küldtek Rohonczy Ignác királyi biztoshoz, melyekben saját magukat vagy ismerőseiket próbálták tisztázni a „forradalmár" vádja alól. A szabadságharcot a császár és a cár hadseregei leverték, de a vereség dacára sem veszett el minden. A feudalizmus gazdasági és társadalmi rendje letűnt, az ország végérvényesen rálépett Forradalom és szabadságharc Vas megyében The Revolution and War of Independence in Vas County by someone from Győr. Detailed accounts of the epidemic survive. On their return, the imperial forces immediately began restoring the old regime and reversing what the revolution had achieved. A military administration was introduced initially to establish and consolidate this restored regime. Warrants went out for the arrest of those who had played a leading part in the revolution and war of independence. There was a hunt for Ágoston Wimmer, and József Vidos was called upon to account for himself over the events at Kőszeg. Members of the public sent statements and reports to Ignác Rohonczy, the royal commissioner, trying to colear themselves or their acquaintances of charges that they had been revolutionaries. Although the forces of the Emperor and the Tsar had crushed the war of independence, all was not lost. The economical and social system of feudalism had disappeared. The country was finally setting out on a course of bourgeois development that would lead to a period of peaceful prosperity recalled wistfully in later years. LAJOS BATTHYÁNY Before setting out for the National Assembly on December 6, 1848, Lajos Batthyány explained matters to his wife: '/ cannot approve of Kossuth's present conduct. I fear we are heading for the country's destruction, and faster than we think, unless we can pull against it, and I want therefore to found a moderate party and state my opinion. They may not be pleased by this in Pest; they may think me a traitor.' By then he had resigned as prime minister. He insisted that Hungary should be independent, but he sought an agreement with Vienna, fearing that the country would be unable to combat a stronger empire. Batthyány, who had been the leading figure in the aristocratic opposition in the Diets of the reform period, inspired even more fear at court than Kossuth did. The relations between the two men were not untroubled, but there was never an open break between them. So what kind of man was Batthyány? He was not a pensive, absorbed figure. Rather than supplying the opposition movement of the 1840s with a clear political line, he synthesized and sympathized with the often differing views found among them. He was a born party leader.
