What was the Rum Rebellion?
The Rum Rebellion was an event in Australia's early colonial history in which one of the colony's early governors was removed from his position by the settlers. Governor William Bligh was Governor of New South Wales in 1805. He was a strong character, concerned about discipline in the somewhat unruly colony, but he received a lot of criticism for his seemingly tyrannical ways. He was considered to have a disregard for English law but this was largely because he sought to bring in new laws more suited to the colony than previous rules which were better suited to England's conditions. Bligh's main critic was the influential grazier and wool grower John Macarthur, who convinced men from the New South Wales Corp to rebel against Bligh. On 26 January 1808, Governor Bligh was overthrown and replaced with a military Junta. Although known as the Rum Rebellion, it had nothing to do with rum. The name came about because Bligh claimed that Macarthur's main attack against him was the result of his prohibition on Spirits. The Rum Rebellion caused Bligh to be imprisoned from 1808 to 1810. Historical evidence suggests the event was more due to a clash of strong personalities than anything else. Bligh did have a violent temper and tended to alienate others, but his motives were honourable. Bligh was exonerated in 1811, after which he returned to England.
