Daniel shays
Shay's rebellion and the Whisky rebellion were both armed rebellion over taxes.
Shay's Rebellion grew out of the fiscal practices of the state of Massachusetts. Following the war, a former Continental Army soldier, Daniel Shays, led a revolt against what he and other farmers believed was economic tyranny. The post war depression had hit farmers particularly hard, and many lost their farms to debt. The rebellion attempted to over- throw the state government, stopping taxation and foreclosures, but was put down.
High taxes and judgments for dets
Shays rebellion happened because enraged farmers were angry about taxes and debts. As a result of no money, their land was taken from them. They revolted against the Supreme Court and captured the building so no citizens would have to pay their dues. They were later all later captured and killed by a local miltia.

taxes
Simple. The chief crop was corn. It was difficult to transport anything by wagon over the Indian footpaths along mountain ridges. It was cheapest to make whiskey from corn and more profitable to transport it over the mountains to the east. Whiskey stills were prominent businesses, just as important as the blacksmith, saddler, and undertaker. When the government wanted to tax whiskey, it would have deeply cut into farmers' profits. The Whiskey Rebellion was a major fight against taxation.
The Whiskey Rebellion is all about the farmers and a few citizens getting mad over taxes on the whiskey. It is also about the government not allowing farmers to turn there corn into whiskey. George Washington decided he was going to end it himself. So he gathered up some troops and headed down towards all of the rebels. But when he got there they had all dispersed, knowing that it was George Washington coming down there to stop them.
