Shay's Rebellion alarmed the government because they were afraid a civil war would erupt. Protesters prevented some courts from sitting.
Shays' Rebellion
Shays' Rebellion took place in 1786 in Massachusetts due to post-war depression, economic problems, lack of hard currency, and harsh government policies. The main outcome was hopes for solving the state's debt problems.
Massachusetts ranked among the highest states in terms of revolutionary debt, primarily due to its significant contributions to the American Revolutionary War effort. By the end of the war, the state had accumulated a substantial amount of debt to finance its military expenditures. This financial burden led to a series of fiscal challenges, culminating in events like Shays' Rebellion, which highlighted the struggles of citizens in dealing with high taxes and debt repayment. Overall, Massachusetts' revolutionary debt was a critical factor in shaping early American economic policies.
