Anti-Rent war was a tenants' revolt in upstate New York in the period 1839–1845
The incident began with death the of Stephen Van Rensselaer III in 1839.[1] Van Rensselaer, who was described as a lenient and benevolent landowner" was the patroon of the region at the time.[2] As a way to develop his vast landholdings, Van Rensselaer granted tenants lifetime leases at moderate prices.[3] During his life, when tenants were in financial constraints, he preferred to accept rent in the form of goods and services in lieu of cash, allow rents to accumulate, or accept partial payment rather than evict them.[3] However, his leases also included a "quarter-sale" provision, which required tenants who sold their leases to pay Van Rensselaer one fourth of the sale price or one additional year's rent.[3] The patroons owned all the land on which the tenants in the Hudson Valley lived, and used this feudal lease system to maintain control of the region.[3] When he died, his wealth had been reduced in the economic downturn known as the Panic of 1837,[4] so Van Rensselaer's will directed his heirs to collect outstanding rents and "quarter sale" payments to apply to his estate's debts.[4] When the heirs attempted to collect, tenants who believed their debts would be forgiven at Van Renselaer's death could not pay the amounts demanded, could not secure a favorable payment schedule from the heirs, and could not obtain relief in the courts, so they revolted.[3][4]

The first mass meeting of tenant farmers leading to the Anti-Rent War was held at the top of the Helderberg mountains in Berne, New York on July 4, 1839. They issued a declaration of independence, promising: "We will take up the ball of the Revolution where our fathers stopped it and roll it to the final consummation of freedom and independence of the masses."[5]

In December 1839 the Anti-Renters repulsed a 500-man posse led by Albany County sheriff Michael Artcher and including William Marcy and John Van Buren. Governor William Seward threatened the rebels with 700 militiamen and obtained their surrender. However, an insurrection continued to smolder. Disguised "Calico Indians" resisted tax collection and law enforcement, sometimes tarring and feathering their enemies.[5][6]

In January 1845, one hundred and fifty delegates from eleven counties assembled at St. Paul's Lutheran Church[7] in Berne to call for political action to redress their grievances.[8]
