Mob Rule

In the 1828 dictionary then mob is- A crowd or promiscuous multitude of people, rude, tumultuous, and disorderly.

Rule in the 1828 dictionary is-To have power or command, to exercise supreme authority. Government; sway; empire; control; supreme command or authority.

So Mob rule is pretty much a mob doing what they think and making a lot of chaos.

Usually when there is mob rule then people sometimes die, get their stuff taken away, and get tarred and feathered, or other things; so usually when there is a mob rule it is a lot of trouble.

I think that sometimes good things can come from mob rule but usually there is bad things or that there is
Good stuff that happens but also a lot of bad.

An example of a bad mob rule is during the revolutionary war then mobs would tar and feather people a lot, also after the civil war when blacks were free then sometimes they would be tarred and feathered or tortured by the angry mobs of slave owners and other people.

A somewhat good thing happening that was somewhat a mob was the Boston Tea Party where they dumped Tea from the ships which helped America become Free.
