The rebellion in 1786 and 1787 was stopped by Massachusetts militia and troops assembled by Massachusetts governor James Bowdoin, led by General Benjamin Lincoln.
The federal government had no money to hire troops, a weakness of the Articles of Confederation that was among the many reasons for the drafting of the US Constitution. Because some ringleaders went into hiding in the Republic of Vermont, the rebellion added impetus to extend federal law there, and Vermont became a state in 1791.
