 A few barricades appeared, and about 1,000 insurgents came out in the streets, but the army moved in force with 30,000 troops and the uprisings were swiftly crushed, with the killing of an estimated 300 to 400 opponents of the coup.There were also small uprisings in the more militant red republican towns in the south and center of France, but these were all put down by 10 December.Louis Napoleon followed the self-coup by a period of repression of his opponents, aimed mostly at the red republicans.
