What led to shays's 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.


What is Shey's Rebellion?

The rebellion started on August 29, 1786, and by January 1787, over one thousand Shaysites had been arrested. A militia that had been raised as a private army defeated an attack on the federal Springfield Armory by the main Shaysite force on February 3, 1787, and four rebels were killed in the action. The leader Daniel Shays was a former Captain in the Continental Army, under General George Washington. Daniel Shays and many other former Continental Army members and other now local farmers were being taxed out of their farm's and property. After many attempt's to have the Massachusetts Government respond and do something about these people losing their homes and livelihood's they organized many meeting, much like they did before the revolution to no avail. They then started closing down debtor courts and releasing imprisoned debtors from jail. This lead to the full scale revolt, 'Shay's Rebellion'.Massachusetts Governor James Bowdoin organized the military force funded through taxes on eastern merchants to confront the rebels.The importance of this rebellion is the closeness of George Washington to Captain Shay's and other's that were losing everything they fought against Britain to guarantee to everyone in America. This led George Washington to once again step up for his country and be the chair residing over the Constitutional Convention.There was a lack of an institutional response to the uprising, which energized calls to reevaluate the Articles of Confederation and gave strong impetus to the Philadelphia Convention which began on May 17, 1787. Shays' Rebellion produced fears that the Revolution's democratic impulse had gotten out of hand.

What are the causes of bastar rebellion.explain?

The Bastar Rebellion or the Bhumkal Rebellion took place in 1910 around the present India state of Chhatisgarh. Out of 84 paraganas in the district of Bastar, the rebellion spread to 46 of them. Here are the main reasons for the rebellion: Bastar was made up of many tribes speaking different languages but they all had one thing in common and that is protecting their way of life. At the time, India was under British rule. The British Governor enacted many laws which threatened their way of life. Such as the Forest Laws which restricted free movement to a majority of the forest. The Governor also displaced many tribes from the forest. Another reason was the exploitation of the tribes providing free labor for the colonial officers. Most importantly was the degrading of the Bastar King who the tribes believed was the incarnation of God. For these reasons resentment towards the British rule was made known by the people and some of the elite. and thus led to the rebellion.
