Shay's rebellion was a product of the Massachusetts government ordering all people who couldn't pay their debts to be put in jail and their land to be taken away. This was especially hard on the farmers, and they thought that it was unfair and unjust. So the Massachusetts farmers started a rebellion with a man named Daniel Shay at the head of it. The farmers shut down all government institutions that they came across. They were only stopped by the Massachusetts army  about a year later.
