Rebellion, uprising, or insurrection is a refusal of obedience or order. It may, therefore, be seen as encompassing a range of behaviors aimed at destroying or replacing an established authority such as a government or a head of state. On the one hand the forms of behaviour can include non-violent methods such as the (overlapping but not quite identical) phenomena of civil disobedience, civil resistance and nonviolent resistance. On the other hand it may encompass violent campaigns. Those who participate in rebellions, especially if they are armed rebellions, are known as "rebels".
Throughout history, many different groups that opposed their governments have been called rebels. Over 450 peasant revolts erupted in southwestern France between 1590 and 1715. In the United States, the term was used for the Continentals by the British in the Revolutionary War, and for the Confederacy by the Union in the American Civil War. Most armed rebellions have not been against authority in general, but rather have sought to establish a new government in their place. For example, the Boxer Rebellion sought to implement a stronger government in China in place of the weak and divided government of the time. The Jacobite Risings (called "Jacobite Rebellions" by the government) attempted to restore the deposed Stuart kings to the thrones of England, Ireland and Scotland, rather than abolish the monarchy completely.

a crowd of rebellion / M1917 [Official Music Video]
Pushed into fate there is no choice
Troubled souls driven to silence
Hear your mind but have no voice
Frenzied floods rage in defiance
At once it came too soon
Yet we stood and watched it happen
This bond of blood will break
Every drop feeds the ocean
See the path laid out before you
Ask no questions
Days to wonder what went wrong
Searching with no meaning
Was it right or is it gone
We're all far from freedom
Ride the edge, forever seal this fate
Rolling against the tide we swam
As they gather round the fallen
Back to back we break this down
Flood the gates and make it happen
All at once it came too soon
Yet we stood and watched it trap them
Raging tears shed by fools, refuse direction
Fight the eye of the whirlpool
Waves of insurrection call
