I believe the rebellion started with the speech from Old
Major who encouraged the animals to look at how they were being treated and realize
there was a better way where all animals could be
equal.
When Old Major died, he then became a hero of sorts,
and his message became legend among the animals who only talked about it until the night
that Farmer Jones and his men forgot to feed them for a long period of
time.
Combined with the other mistreatment, the starvation
finally got the animals mad enough to kick in the feed stall so they could eat. When
Farmer Jones tried to get them back under control, they had already gotten a taste of
freedom and they wanted to keep it so they fought
back.
After that, the pigs took over and Snowball studied
the battle plans of Cesar so he would know how to fend off further attacks. It worked,
as the animals were able to turn back the humans at the battle of Cowshed to finally
take control of their farm.
Once in power, the animals
changed the name of the farm from Manor Farm to Animal Farm, flew their own flag, let
the pigs take over as leaders, and came up with the motto, "All animals are
equal."
