Strictly speaking, since the American Revolution the only true example of literal tyranny on U.S. soil was Brigham Young's "Kingdom of Deseret", an absolute and divinely appointed authoritarian regime which included Utah, Nevada, southern California, western Colorado, and parts of AZ, NM, ID, and Wyoming.

The Federal government was the hero in that instance.
