What did the animals in George Orwell's Animal Farm do to Mr. Jones and his men?

Mr. Jones's increased drinking, along with the irresponsibility of his men, led to the animals' neglect. One day, the hungry animals got into the grain supplies so they could eat. Mr. Jones and his men came in with whips to drive the animals from the food. Instead of being cowed, the animals rebelled. They fought back and Boxer accidentally killed a hand. This frightened the rest of the men sufficiently that the animals were able to drive Mr. Jones and the rest of his crew off the farm. Mrs. Jones also saw what was happening and fled. After this episode, known to the animals as the Rebellion, the animals established Animal Farm. It's important to note that, while Old Major planted the idea of freedom into the minds of the animals, a spontaneous event led to the animals' revolt. Later, the men try to retake the farm, but the animals use military tactics studied by Snowball to win the battle once again.
