L'historienne Francoise Brunel ecrivait: Des acteurs celebres de la Revolution, Billaud-Varenne est l'un des plus mal connus.
Pour les royalistes de la Restauration, il fut le prototype des buveurs de sang . Pour les liberaux de la monarchie de Juillet, il etait le heros qui ne plie pas, qui a refuse la grace offerte par Bonaparte. Sa destinee s'acheve en terre americaine: a Cayenne, ou il survit a quatre ans de prison, cultive ses girofliers aupres de sa compagne guadeloupeenne Virginie, puis a Saint-Domingue devenue Haiti, premiere terre noire libre grace au general mulatre Petion, qui lui sert une pension jusqu’ a sa mort en 1819. Cette grande figure de la Convention montagnarde se derobe au jugement de l'historien: ou situer celui qui a condamne Danton avant de jouer un role decisif dans la chute de Robespierre ?
