To illustrate, when people started to rebel nobody could stop them because they didn't have a real military. After the about almost a year of rebellion Massachusetts sent Militia troops to restore order. Also, the Northwest Ordinance was a very important part of the growth of the United States. It helped pare a new way for new settlements which expanded our nation and strengthened our power. ]]> 2018-11-09 18:37:17 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302711488 sg2606 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302711888 I learned about when are nation first started It had major problems. Which cause people to rebel mostly farmers. How this started was when the government was able to make coins but, lacked any material  to mint them. Which when the tax collectors came to collect the money The government didn't now about the money but yet the taxed them. If they did not have the money the would got to court or be thrown in jail. One man could not bare to see people who had fought in the american revolution so he gather farmers and put together a list of thing that they wanted they did the right way but, they were ignored. So then they created an arm. The Northwest Ordinance were laws to make new state In the new Territory and new laws. It help people to get use to new states.]]> 2018-11-09 18:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302711888 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302715158 In Shays Rebellion it was about how the farmers were taxed very much and they started to suffer. They had a riot, but the US couldn't do anything to stop them.They knew they needed a real military. The Northwest Ordinance made t so new states could join the union. It also made it so there was religious freedom, trial by jury, and no slavery.]]> 2018-11-09 18:44:22 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302715158 cg3115 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302717848 I learned a lot about Shay's Rebellion and the Northwest Ordinance. The currency was worth almost nothing and the states were taxing farmers. Farmers were suffering from starvation just because they didn't have any money left after taxes. Daniel Shays was a rebel from Massachusetts. The government was very weak especially the central government. They were so poor too that they would ask the states to give them money and the states wouldn't always give them money. The northwest ordinance was a document that proposed 3 to 5 states above the Ohio river and East of the Mississippi river]]> 2018-11-09 18:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302717848 mr2887 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302719658 There are many things I learned from Shay's rebellion and the Northwest Ordinance. Many farmers would have to pay many taxes for the state government and if they couldn't pay them they would go to jail. They would also have their farms and houses taken away and be left with nothing. The congress/ country couldn't help the farmers or the states because they had no army to fight back or protect themselves. The central government was very weak and poor. They made the central government weak because they were afraid of having another king or a over powerful government. They had only one branch and that was the congress. The congress had no money because they didn't have the ability to tax, so they had to ask the states for money and for the most part they wouldn't give them money. For the Northwest Ordinance they made many laws to make states in the new territory they had to be no less and three states and no more than 5. To ask to become a state the territory would have to get over 6,000 people. There would be no slavery in the new states and have no involuntary servitude.

Many farmers were getting angry including Daniel Shays who started a rebellion and since the government didn't have an army they had no army to fight back. The Northwest Ordinance had rights such as freedom of religion, trial by jury and no slavery. ]]> 2018-11-09 18:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302719993 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302722710 I learned that when the U.S. was first founded it had a bad constitution. One of the issues was that there was a constant issue in dept that ended up in people loosing their land. Those people revolted and attacked state houses. The rebellion, known as Shay's rebellion, was defeated but left it's mark. A few years later a senate leader made a law for dept relief.  The Northwest ordinance allowed the US to expand because It stated that there would be many opportunities for the settlers. This included no slavery and the original rights of American's. It also established that the natives would have the same rights and their lands would not be invaded. This ensured a good relationship with the natives. ]]> 2018-11-09 18:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302722710 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302722782 Shays Rebellion is when mostly farmers began to rebel. They were being heavily taxed by the government. If these farmers weren't able to pay off there debt they would be thrown in jail and the government would take the property they owned. The Northwest Ordinance was when a new method for admitting new states to the union. It helped to a new way for settlements to gain power and strengthen. The ordinance was defeated by Thomas Jefferson. ]]> 2018-11-09 18:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302722782 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302722870 I learned that Shay's Rebellion lead to a list of demands being created and delivered to  Boston government leaders in order to reform farmer's rights in being taxed and not able to look after their families.

To illustrate, when Daniel Shays led a rebellion, due to farmers being heavily taxed, no one was able to stop them as the US did not have a real military. This showed how the new country needed a military force. This also showed how the country was going to have to find a way to properly pay off their debts. The Northwest Ordinance gave a method for new states to be admitted into the union of the United States. In it a Bill of Rights was included. It gave freedom of religion, trial by jury, and was the first law banning slavery in the US.]]> 2018-11-09 18:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302723456 mg2620 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302723944 I learned that Shays rebellion and the Northwest ordinance were some of the key events that led to the making of the U.S. I also learned that the farmers were being taxed heavily because the government was in war debts. Many farmers were not able to pay the taxes because of how heavily they were being taxed. ]]> 2018-11-09 19:00:48 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302723944 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302723947 I learned about when our nation first started it had many problems. People (the government) highly taxed farmers to pay for the debt of the war. this led farmers to rebel, starting what is now called Shay's rebellion. Nobody was able to stop them due to poor military. northwestern ordinance gave a method for new states to be admitted into union of us states ]]> 2018-11-09 19:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302723947 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302724786 I learned that the states were in debts. In the 1780s, judges in the state of Massachusetts, ordered people to jail if farmers couldn't pay back their debts and they could order the local government to seize, or take over all of the farmer's property. After the Revolutionary war, The continental army was disbanded. After a year of rebellion, the Massachusetts government was able to stop Shays rebellion.]]> 2018-11-09 19:02:28 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302724786 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302725848 The Shays rebellion was a violent uprising led by former revolutionary, Daniel Shays. It was caused by farmers who were unhappy with the taxes that were being imposed by the States. They were giving taxes because they were in great debt from the war. The farmers joined the revolution against Congress.
The Northwest Ordinance was a document that allowed the creation of 3-5 stated in the territories north of the Ohio River and east of the Mississippi River. It was drafted by Thomas Jefferson. It was created because Congress wanted more states.]]> 2018-11-09 19:04:29 UTC https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302725848 https://padlet.com/terry_messmer/tzwbflvz1wqr/wish/302726759 I learned that the shays rebellion is when farmers were tax by the government also lead to a list of  demands.

After they got taxed, they didn't feel like it was fair. So Daniel Shays led a violent rebellion against the states. 

I learned that the Northwest Ordinance was a document that allowed 3-5 states to be created in the territories north of the Ohio River and east of Mississippi River.
