Rebellions, Revolts, and Uprisings
"A little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as
necessary in the political world as storms in the physical," mused Thomas
Jefferson. Rebellions have undeniably played a large part in the evolution of
the United States. Many were unsuccessful at the time, but had lasting
ramifications that led to great social and political change, such as John
Brown's raid on the Harpers Ferry arsenal in 1859. Each comprehensive volume in
