The Continental Rebellion, or "Washingtons Rebellion" as it was called was carried out by men considered traitors to the Empire. The Careful management of the British Empires colonies as well as more involvement in the Thirteen colonies and Canada specifically led to Washingtons Rebellion being crushed early during the opening engagements of Lexington and Concord, and with the next few months and chasing around Washingtons demoralized armies across the colonies, they were uncerimoniously crushed and the captured were hanged for treason.
