The Critical Period refers to the time in American history immediately after the Revolutionary War, roughly from 1783 to 1789, when the newly independent states grappled with weak governance under the Articles of Confederation. Shays' Rebellion, which occurred in 1786-1787 in Massachusetts, was a pivotal uprising of farmers protesting economic injustices and lack of government response to their financial struggles. This rebellion highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and contributed to the call for a stronger federal government, ultimately leading to the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
