Shays' Rebellion began in 1786 primarily due to economic distress faced by farmers in Massachusetts, who were burdened by high taxes and debts following the American Revolutionary War. Many farmers, including Daniel Shays, were unable to pay these debts, leading to the seizure of their lands and property. The rebellion was sparked by the government's failure to address these grievances, prompting armed protests against tax and debt collection practices. This uprising highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and ultimately contributed to the call for a stronger federal government.
