Nathaniel Shay led a rebellion, known as Shay's Rebellion, in 1786-1787 primarily due to economic hardships faced by farmers in Massachusetts. Many were struggling with high taxes, debt, and the threat of foreclosure, which exacerbated their financial struggles after the American Revolution. Shay and his followers sought to protest these injustices and demand relief, ultimately highlighting the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and prompting calls for a stronger federal government.
