rose up
Mounted a rebellion
Rose up means to stand, rebel, or surge upward with force or determination.
The phrase often carries connotations of resistance or defiance: The people rose up against the tyrant.
It can also describe physical movement with dramatic intensity: Smoke rose up from the burning building.
While "rose" alone often suffices, "rose up" emphasizes the upward direction or the force of the action.
