They overpowered it and destroyed the rebellion. Actually, maybe "destroyed" isn't the right word. They forced the rebellion to turn over their leaders.

The people heard that rebellion was rising and scoffed at the idea. When the Rebellion came, they were caught off guard at first, but they are prepared to crush the under their fist after they get their wind back.

If they rebelled then they were Released or killed.

The concept that Edward Bellamy (the author of Looking Backwards) was trying to get through to the reader was that in their society it didn't have a reason for anyone to rebel. In other words, it was really rare for someone to go against something since their society created equality amongst the people. I think that the utopia that Bellamy created was "perfect" where people had nothing to disagree with. If someone were to do something wrong rather than a jail, the person was sent to the hospital.

Mine showed a quiet rebellion going on in the back-round, with people using their memory to store books. It hadn't escalated into anything by the time the book ended, but it leaves you with the impression that they are going to work together to pull down the society and build another one.

In our book they tried to insure the public any rebellion will fail. They even went to the extent when they couldn't find the main character (the one who rebelled) the capture an innocent man in his place.

Lord of the Flies. The community (excluding Ralph, Piggy, and the Littluns) fell into savagery.

In "The Giver," if there was any rebellion they would be released(killed then dumped down a drain thingy).
