Revolts, protests, demonstrations, and rebellions in American history an encyclopedia

"The boisterous sea of liberty," Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1820, "is never without a wave." America's ability to weather such turbulence is a tribute to the strength of American republican democracy, a demonstration that the system set up at the country's founding is durable and elastic enough to endure numerous revolts and rebellions without collapsing.
