Bonaparte handles with velvet gloves a still bloodless Vendée

Erklärung:
The "Vendée" is a French "département". During the French Revolution and for various reasons, its inhabitants mutinied and carried out a war of skirmishes against the "Blues" (Republican soldiers). The punishment was horrible and the Vendée almost disappeared!

juliebarba: yes for the soft approach. Menager can mean 'go easy on'. I don't thinkt that there is a sense of 'great' or 'very'...don't think you can be greatly diplomatic after genocide!

to treat with kid gloves(show consideration for) the Vendée still bled white(drained of resources)

Erklärung:
a. la conscription, s’éloigne -> for the people of Vendée to agree to accept to be part of Bonaparte’s battles, this action is needed (action carried out by him in the context)
b. la papauté -> I think for religious reasons also, this action is needed.
c. I fell upon this phrase, quite a pointer: les guerres ont laissé le pays exsangue (lit. translation-> wars have bled the country white.
d. Taking away all the flourish, read as: Bonaparte’s propaganda…has objective of… appealing to…winning over…(and) to show consideration for…a Vendée still bled white.
