Outside of the southeast, the comparable list includes not only all of these but also destruction of tollgates, invasions of enclosed land, and disruptions of public ceremonies and festivals … Remember the essential qualifications: “eighteenth century” is only a rough approximation of a more complex timetable; some actions combined more than one of these forms; no single category of actors carried on all these actions; each form of action linked at least two actors, at a minimum one of them taking the other as a target and the other often riposting with a different action; and innovation and improvisation occurred incessantly within the broad limits set by each of these forms. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 326
