mar 15, 1786 - Shays' Rebellion

Description:

Shays’ Rebellion(1786 - 1787):

Shays’ Rebellion was a series of violent attacks on courthouses and other government properties in Massachusetts. It was soon stopped due to a large military confrontation. Daniel Shays led a fairly large gathering of Revolutionary War soldiers and farmers, who opposed state economic policies that caused them to struggle financially, on attacks. This rebellion caused Massachusetts legislature to pass laws that made times better for debtors and the rebellion became an argument for a more conservative national government. It was relatively small in scale, but it helped the Constitutional Convention take place.
