Q: Shays' Rebellion?

A: Shays' Rebellion was a series of protests between 1786-1787 by local farmers against state and local enforcement of tax collections and harsh punishments for debts. The brunt of this rebellion occurred in the rural areas of Massachusetts where the government there hadn't implemented any Pro-Debtor Laws (such as forgiving debt or printing paper money) to relieve pressure created by the economic crisis. Armed rebellion against these conditions came under the leadership of Daniel Shays, a former captain in the Continental Army. The rebels were known as Shaysites after their leader. The general public's view of these rebellions were split into two different categories: one side saw them as inspired leaders working in the tradition of the American Revolution. while others saw them as a dangerous threat to the fledgling republic. haha.
