1786
Whiskey rebellion
Farmers were protesting a tax on whiskey during President Washington's term in office.
Shays' Rebellion, led by angry farmers in western Massachusetts in 1786-1787, exposed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. These farmers were protesting against high taxes and debt, resulting from economic hardships after the Revolutionary War. The rebellion highlighted the inability of the federal government under the Articles to effectively address economic issues and maintain law and order, ultimately contributing to the push for a stronger centralized government under the U.S. Constitution.
