ReplyDeleteThe Rebecca Riots I've heard of. The article states at the bottom that the rioters took on the law and won, though the article itself suggests that nobody won except the railways - they provided the means of by-passing the toll-gates. Aside from that, this seems to have been a good example of the old adage that 'violence doesn't solve anything'.
