What are some premodern examples of oppressed groups working successfully to end their oppression? Were there been any notable largely-peaceful movements among slaves, ill-treated ethnic minorities in empires, etc. which improved their conditions?

This submission has been removed because it violates the rule on poll-type questions. These poll-type questions do not lend themselves to answers with a firm foundation in sources and research, and the resulting threads usually turn into monsters with enormous speculation and little focussed discussion. “Most”, “least”, "best" and "worst" questions usually lead to vague, subjective, and speculative answers.

For questions of these types, we ask that you redirect them to more appropriate subreddits, such as /r/history or /r/askhistory.
