The Whiskey Rebellion ended differently than Shays' Rebellion primarily due to the response from the federal government. In 1794, President George Washington led a militia to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion in Pennsylvania, demonstrating the federal government's ability and willingness to enforce its laws. In contrast, Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787 was largely met with state-level resistance, and the lack of a strong federal response highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. Ultimately, the resolution of the Whiskey Rebellion reinforced federal authority, while Shays' Rebellion spurred calls for a stronger national government, leading to the Constitutional Convention.

What is Daniel Shays best remembered for?
Shays led a group of farmers in an aborted revolt known as Shays' Rebellion. Angry over foreclosures caused largely by the government's failure under the Articles of Confederation to pay wages owed to Revolutionary War soldiers, farmers attempted to raid a federal arsenal but were turned back by a private army (hired because Congress hadn't paid the current national army at the time either and was terrified of the risk that they too would revolt). Though Shays didn't immediately succeed, his rebellion did create the catalyst needed to bring delegates to Philadelphia for what would become known as the Constitutional Convention.
