The Providence Rebellion were a series of clashes and riots that took place mostly in Providence, Rhode Island, with smaller fighting in Boston, Hartford, Springfield Worcester and several smaller towns from 6 April to 15 April, 1980. The fighting was a direct result of the UCA's secession from the United States a month prior. The fighting was waged between Federal Loyalists, pro-Commonwealth forces, with left-wing forces engaging both in some instances.
