Shays' Rebellion was an armed uprising that took place in 1786-1787 in Massachusetts, led by Daniel Shays and other Revolutionary War veterans. The rebellion was driven by economic distress, high taxes, and the threat of property seizures due to debt. It highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and the need for a stronger federal government, ultimately contributing to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. The uprising underscored the tensions between rural farmers and the more affluent urban elites.
