The tenant uprising of 1766 seems to me to be quite a serious affair, in particularly since British troops were requested to quell it (with the consequences that followed for the New York assembly's inability to fulfill all the demands of the Quartering Act). Yet in all accounts I read, the causes of the tenant uprising is never elaborated on. Why did this uprising happen? How did it take form and how serious of a threat was it?
