    - Thomas Jefferson to Col. William S. Smith, 1787, referring to
    Shay rebellion


    "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain
    occasions that I
    wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when
    wrong, but
    better so than not to be exercised at all."
    - Thomas Jefferson, to Abagail Adams, 1787


    "God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a
    rebellion."
    - Thomas Jefferson to Col. William S. Smith, 1787 (referring to
    Shay rebellion)


    "I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and
    then, is a good thing, and as
    necessary in the political world as storms
    in the physical."
    - Thomas Jefferson, letter to James
    Madison, January 30, 1787


    Awesome guy, Jefferson.

    So, should we call what happened on January 6th a 'rebellion'?
