The Black Boys Rebellion

The Black Boys Rebellion, Smith's Rebellion or Allegheny Uprising, was an armed uprising in the Province of Pennsylvania between March 5 and November 18, 1765. The nine-month uprising began when a wagon train loaded with illegal "warlike goods" was discovered at Pawling's Tavern. Alarmed by the train's contents, citizens led by James Smith intercepted and destroyed the goods at a mountain pass near Sideling Hill. The numerous clashes afterwards involved more destruction, firefights, arrests, a kidnapping, legal maneuvers, a court trial, a two-day siege, and one casualty.
