Shays' Rebellion was ultimately defeated by a combination of state militia forces and the intervention of the federal government. In early 1787, Massachusetts Governor James Bowdoin called upon a privately funded militia to suppress the uprising, which was led by disgruntled farmers protesting economic injustices and high taxes. The rebellion highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and ultimately contributed to the call for a stronger federal government, leading to the Constitutional Convention later that year.
