NOTES
The formal report issued by the US Congress following the Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island. Reported by New Hampshire Congressman Edmund Burke (1839-1845), the document upheld the pro-democratic aspirations of Thomas Wilson Dorr, censured President John Tyler for his role in assisting the suppression of the rebellion, and criticized anti-democratic forces within the state of Rhode Island. Still regarded as one of the most important sources for information on the events of the rebellion and the national response to it.
