Shays' Rebellion began in 1786 when a group of farmers in western Massachusetts, led by Daniel Shays, protested against economic injustices, including high taxes and aggressive debt collection. The immediate catalyst for the uprising was the economic hardship faced by these farmers following the Revolutionary War, which left many in debt and facing foreclosure on their properties. The rebellion escalated when the protesters attempted to seize control of a Federal armory in Springfield in early 1787. This uprising highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and ultimately led to calls for a stronger national government.
