The Shays Rebellion was a revolt thatoccurred in Western
Massachusetts in the years 1786-1787. It was an uprising caused by harsh living conditions aimed at preventing foreclosures and the execution of debts.
Explanation:
The rebellion was made by farmers among which many were ex-soldiers of the revolutionary war. Farmers were having difficulties in their production because what they previously bought in credit and paid with barter, in the 1780s was starting to demand to be paid in hard currency.
There was no paper money, gold or silver in circulation for the farmers to pay their debts. The economy was going through a depression having lost credit privileges of the British Empire. Bankers and country retailers were pressing the farmers for they to bear the burden of the bills the revolution had left, that is the need for the reorganization of debt and credit needed for the US to be part of the global economy of the late 18th century.
In the uprising the farmer Daniel Shays was one of the leaders of it and led other farmers into attacking the debtor's courts. They demanded reformations against foreclosures and high taxes.
The Shays' Rebellion is considered with one of the last events of the Revolutionary period and was an important cause of the Constitutional Convention (1787) as it was clear for conservatives that the government had to be stronger and that a Constitution was needed.
