The term Muscadin refers to idle youth, particularly young boys, during the time of the French Revolution. From about 1793 to 1795 these well-dressed young men rebelled against the carelessness of the sans-culottes. They organized into gangs and generally harassed and attacked Jacobin vendors. Their weapons of choice were metal bludgeons and canes, sometimes twisted or knobbed. The Muscadin are considered to be part of the White Terror in response to the Reign of Terror.
