Shays Rebellion
Storyboard Text
- This is Terrible! I fought my butt off during the Revolution. I was promised money and land and got NOTHING! We might as well have stayed under British rule
- I know! I'm gonna round up the other farmers and do EXACTLY! what the revolutionaries did!
- I'm Daniel Shays and I think that this new government is as abusive as the last! Let's burn down the government buildings until we get our money!
- YEAH!!!
- Sir there is a group of farmers outside demanding the state of Massachusetts pay them for their services.
- Let's hope the other states see a need to send support...
- Well this sounds like quite a problem, let's write to the other states for backup
- Ehhh we don't really have an army to help or money to pay the protesters. Under the Articles of Confederation we can't really do much outside of sending thoughts and prayers
- SOS Send money and military!
- We just received notice of a rebellion in Boston. Apparently war veterans are violently protesting. Massachusetts is asking the other states for support.
- Help never came from the other states who saw Shays Rebellion as strictly a Massachusetts's problem. 6 protesters died in the rebellion and many who were involved were severely punished.It was seen as a wake up call by many that there needed to be a stronger centralgovernment to prevent something like this from happening again.
- Last battle of Shays Rebellion was hereFeb. 27 1787
