Rebellion

The sagebrush rebellion began as backlash against increasing federal regulations of public lands in the late 1970s. The rebels wanted federal lands returned to the states. The support of these rebellions were western ranchers, miners, local and state officials, and resource extraction industries as they saw federal agencies and environmentalists as outsiders that are interfering with their tradition. And the wise use movement is like a succor of the sagebrush rebellion as it came with a more refined political message and goal; it was more focused on individual rights and when it comes to the impact it has on the new rights is that it reshaped conservative politics. It helped shift the Republican Party toward opposing environmental regulation, linked  liberal values with national conservative causes, and it also play a big role in new right populism as it aligned western discontent with national conservative agendas
