	Shays' Rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shays' Rebellion was an armed uprising in western Massachusetts from 1786 to 1787.
		Much of the western and central parts of the Commonwealth had a barter economy, as opposed to the monetary economy that existed in the eastern part of the Commonwealth.
		Eventually the force for the rebellion was dissipated both by an improving economy and by elections that replaced some incumbents with individuals sympathetic to the rebellion.

	Whiskey Rebellion - MSN Encarta
		Whiskey Rebellion, series of disturbances in 1794 aimed against the enforcement of a U.S. federal law of 1791 imposing an excise tax on whiskey.
		The grain farmers, most of whom were also distillers, depended on whiskey for almost all their income, and they considered the law an attack on their liberty and economic well-being.
		The so-called Whiskey Rebellion is important in U.S. history mainly because it provided the first real test of the federal government's prerogatives and law enforcement power, including the president's right to command the use of state militias.

	Prayer Book Rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The roots of the rebellion in Cornwall can be traced back to the Cornish Rebellion of 1497 and the subsequent destruction of the Cornish monasteries from 1536 through to 1545 which brought an end to the formal scholarship that had sustained the Cornish cultural identity.
		The loss of life in the prayer book rebellion and subsequent reprisals as well as the introduction of the English prayer book is seen as a turning point in the Cornish language, for which — unlike Welsh — a complete bible translation was not produced.
		Research has also suggested that prior to the rebellion the Cornish language had strengthened and more concessions had been made to Cornwall as a "nation", and that anti-English sentiment had been growing stronger, providing additional impetus for the rebellion.

	Whisky Rebellion: A Model for Our Time?
		Western Pennsylvanians failed to pay the tax, this view says, until protests, demonstrations, and some roughing up of tax collectors in western Pennsylvania caused President Washington to call up a 13,000-man army in the summer and fall of 1794 to suppress the insurrection.
		The main distortion of the Official View of the Whiskey Rebellion was its alleged confinement to four counties of western Pennsylvania.

		Pitt) to Western Pa. to talk to General John Neville, General Samuel Parsons and other Pittsburghers sympathetic to the British cause to determine the likelihood of the West separating from the East.

	The Religious Sources of Islamic Terrorism by Shmuel Bar - Policy Review, No. 125 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Most Western analysts are hesitant to identify such acts with the bona fide teachings of one of the world’s great religions and prefer to view them as a perversion of a religion that is essentially peace-loving and tolerant.
		This was done by the Sudanese mahdi in his rebellion against the British (1881-85); by the Ottoman caliphate (December 1914) in World War i; by the Syrian regime against the rebellion in northern Syria (1981); and, mutatis mutandis, by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat to legitimize his peace policies toward Israel.
		Western concepts of civil rights along with legal, political, and cultural constraints preclude government intervention in the internal matters of organized religions; they make it difficult to prohibit or punish inflammatory sermons of imams in mosques (as Muslim regimes used to do on a regular basis) or to punish clerics for fatwas justifying terrorism.

	The Sagebrush Rebellion and the Lords of Yesterday
		Consisting of western public-land users (livestock grazing, timbering, mining, and gas/oil development) and hunters, the Sagebrush Rebellion wanted federal lands turned over to the states, which would keep national public interest groups out of their business.
		Dubbed the Sagebrush Rebellion by the media and romanticized into an image of cowboys and ranchers pitted against monolithic government, this notion of states "reclaiming" federal land spread to Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona, Alaska and Oregon.
		Westerners see these restrictions in the use of the public lands as a portent of things to come-that eventually most of today's public lands will be locked up in wilderness or other restrictive uses.

		By 1980, a half dozen western states were passing statutes that made claim to federal lands, and the West's 28,000 public-land ranchers were at the verge of armed conflict with the federal agencies.

		For example, an essential part of the rancher rebellion is the so-called county movement, a grassroots attempt to transfer control, if not ownership, of federal lands to rural western counties.

		However the Western Rebellion was not the only 'act of defiance' by the peoples of Devon.
