    The main gain for French peasantry was the elimination of the feudal system by the revolutionary regime following the overthrowing of king Louis XVI; it had been a longtime aspiration of theirs. They could finally acquire full rights of landowners and have a free hand to increase their holdings. Another important gain was the abolition of the tithe, an obligation to contribute to the Church's coffers with one tenth of their income, a legal tax: That money was used to maintain the clergy and churches.
