- To pay of America's debts, Massachusetts decided to tax poor farmers. If they didn't pay the taxes, they had their land taken away from them and they were sent to jail.
- To counter this, poor farmers created a rebellion. Led by formal general Daniel Shays, the rebellion broke people out of jail and organized protests. But, the rebellion was quickly ended by Benjamin Lincoln's army of 4,000 volunteers.
- Shays' rebellion highlighted many flaws in the Articles of Confederation, especially the fact that the government couldn't have an army. This lead to the Constitution, the replacement for the Articles of Confederation.
