Description:
*Shays's Rebellion was brought on because many people did not like the approaches that the people in government were taking in regards to running the country.* Many people were in debt and could not pay back any money that they owed. The rebellion was led by Daniel Shays's, a revolutionary war veteran. Did not like the ways taxes were being handled so they decided to rebel.
