Leisler's rebellion occurred when militia leader and German merchant, Jacob Leisler, seized control of the southern portion of New York colony and ruled it from 1689 until 1691 as a protest over tariffs a British official sought to impose in order to outfit a militia to suppress uprisings in the colony. Leisler, a German merchant, saw this as a move to impose "popery" on the colonies.
