Daniel Shays
Daniel Shays led a group of farmers in demanding financial help from the Massachusetts legislature during Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787. The rebellion was primarily fueled by economic hardships and high taxes that farmers were unable to pay. Shays and his followers sought to address these grievances and sought relief from oppressive financial policies. Their actions highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and contributed to the call for a stronger federal government.
Farmers who couldn't pay their taxes or loans.Farmers felt like they were treated unfair and so they attacked the courts.Then Massachusetts Legislature sent a Militia to drive the farmers away.
(1) The American economy went into a depression after the American Revolution. (2)Daniel Shays led a group of armed farmers who used the language of the American Revolution against the Massachusetts legislature. (3) The Massachusetts militia refused to turn out and put down Shays's Rebellion. (4) Shays's supporters were elected to the Massachusetts legislature. The Massachusetts legislature repealed the taxes and stopped paying its debts. (5) The Constitutional Convention tried to create a national government that would prevent future rebellions.
I think the people who were involved in Shays' Rebellion were Farmers who didn't want to pay taxes that they could not afford so they threw a riot! And The Federal Troops were also involved!
There is one reason on why farmers went to Massachusetts to Rebel. The main reason why they moved was because of the taxes on their whiskey.

Following the War of Independence, the farmers in Massachusetts were left dispossessed of their land and bankrupt. In 1786, Daniel Shays sought help from the state legislature to ease the burden of the farmers. He and his fellow farmers were hoping for relief as instituted in other states. The current legislature refused to help and the Federal Government could not help because the governing document at the time was "The Articles of Confederation" which gave no power for the Federal Government to intercede. Shays had over 1,100 farmers who joined in. The Shay's Rebellion was about blocking court from sitting to hear the cases of farmers ready to lose their land. The rebellion became violent and the Governor of Massachusetts, James Bowdoin, sent in the militia. The rebellion had ended but the voices were heard as Massachusetts elected a new legislature who enacted relief programs for the indebtors.

(3) Privately raised forces put down Shays's Rebellion. (4) Shays's supporters were elected to the Massachusetts legislature. The Massachusetts legislature repealed the taxes and stopped paying its debts. (5) Nationalists in the rest of the country called for a stronger national government.
Farmers in Massachusetts fell into financial straights after the Revolutionary War. The problems that came along with the debts they owed creditors led to Shay's rebellion.
