Did Napoleon preserve the goals/gains of the Revolution? or did he destroy them?

Apr 30, 2013

I think that he managed to preserve some of the goals and gains of the revolution, but he could not preserve all of them. I think that he did as much as he could but it was impossible to continue using all of the ideas. The times had changed since the revolution and people were not interested in the same things. If they had wanted to save the exact goals and gains, they could have, but I don't think that the people wanted everything to be exactly the same. Napoleon accomplished many great things
