More or less by definition, there is no such thing as a "lawful revolt."

Sure there is. It all depends on which "laws" and "lawmakers" one is revolting against. If the laws are contrary to the higher laws, ie. the Constitution, be it of the US or the then existing Mexican one, then revolting against those "laws" and "lawmakers" would indeed be a "lawful revolt".

Not in the opinion of the relevant "lawmakers!"
