Insurgents
in U.S. history, the Republican Senators and Representatives who in 1909—10 rose against the Republican standpatters controlling Congress, to oppose the Payne-Aldrich tariff and the dictatorial power of House speaker Joseph G. Cannon. Many–but by no means all–of them joined the Progressive party.

See K. W. Hechler, Insurgency (1940, repr. 1970).
