What caused the rebellion was the taxes that were levied on colonist by the states to try to pay off post war debt. The colonist felt that the taxes were unfair and wanted help like tax relief and moratorium on debt. They were not successful as a military force and was quickly disbursed by the Army in 1787, it brought attention to the need for a new constitution in America.

While the rebellion was defeated, it did speed up the debate that led to the writing of U.S. Constitution.
