No, and neither should you. The June Rebellion was a joke. Only 3000 people rebelled, many of them Poles, Italians and Germans. The rebellion started when the rebels hijacked Lamarque's funeral. The rebellion couldn't make it out of the eastern and central parts of Paris, never mind the city. They decided to fortify themselves in the historical centre of the city, risking damage to hugely important and magnificent historical buildings. I mean, the freaking Marquis de Lafayette, who was a close friend of Lamarque, appealed for calm. There's a big difference between the French Revolution, where a despot was overthrown by an overwhelming majority of the populace, and a extremist minority without a mandate trying to force their will on the majority by attempting to overthrow the government in a rebellion that could not realistically have achieved anything but getting people killed.

Shush now no one needs to know how much of a failure it was. Just celebrate the characters and the songs it has brought.
