Shays' Rebellion took place in 1786 and 1787. The rebellion took place in Massachusetts, and was named after its leader, Daniel Shays.
The rebellion that led to the closing of courts in Massachusetts was Shays' Rebellion, named after its leader, Daniel Shays. The rebellion was eventually crushed.
I believe that is Sam Adams. :) or named Samuel Adams.:)
It frightened some leading Americans. They believed that a stronger central government would protect against popular unrest. In response, Congress asked the states to send delegates to a convention in Philadelphia in 1787. their task was to revise the Articles of Confederation.
It pointed out the weakness of the Articles of Confederation. The government was unable to help either Shays or the government of Mass. A Revolutionary War veteran named Daniel Shays led about 2,000 armed men against the Springfield arsenal. The rebellion collapsed but the problems continued. Shays and his followers believed they were simply carrying on the sprit of the Revolution. Thomas Jefferson, then minister to France, agreed with them. "A little rebellion now and then is a good thing," he wrote to a friend. "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." Washington did not agree with Jefferson. He welcomed the failure of Shays's Rebellion and he compared it to his having to use force to prevent a military coup by a group of army officers under his command. He believed citizens could not take up arms whenever they felt something was not done correctly or they had a grievance.

Named after Revolutionary War Captain Daniel Shay, Shay's Rebellion (1786-1787) led poor farmers in north and western Massachusetts against the Republican government in Boston. It was the first armed rebellion against the new American government. The long-term result was that Massachusetts violent response led to the Articles of Confederation being replaced by the just-written Constitution of the United States.
This event occurred in Massachusetts, in the Springfield area.Farmers in western Massachusetts resented the fact that the state's tax laws favored trade at the expense of farming. The state legislature was composed mostly of merchants from Boston and other shipping towns and cities. In 1786, farmers assembled in conventions and demanded that their property tax be lowered. To make up for the loss of revenue, they called for the abolition of aristocratic branches of the government in Boston.
