Pre-constitution, doesn't count.
We have had popular uprisings, they're either played down ("Bonus Army", coal miner's strikes) or significantly mis-labeled, "War between the states".
- apothegm 2y agoThe civil war was not a popular uprising. It was started by the South’s elites to preserve an institution that benefitted them far more than it did the proletariat. The Confedeeate army was led by elites as well. I believe there were some popular uprisings very early on but can’t remember their names off the top of my head, other than the Whiskey Rebellion.
- Arnt 2y agoWhy doesn't it count? The constitution wasn't force majeure, imposed by a distant third party.
