The issue that led hundreds of people, including Daniel Shays, to force the shutdown of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts was widespread discontent over economic hardships, particularly high taxes and the burden of debt. This protest was part of Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787, where farmers and rural citizens, struggling with financial distress and facing imprisonment for debt, sought to challenge the government’s policies. Their actions aimed to prevent the court from enforcing tax and debt collection measures, reflecting deep frustrations with the state's economic and legal system.
Shay's Rebellion (1786-1787) was a series of protests by farmers against state and local enforcement of tax collections and judgments for debt. Vendors had started to require payments in cash, which was in short supply for many farmers. The problem was that subsistence farmers lived on credit and paid in good years. It was most concentrated in Massachusetts, although it extended in the area from New Hampshire to South Carolina. Interestingly, it was part of the impetus to replace the Articles of Confederation with the Constitution and led to George Washington's presidency.
The Whiskey Rebellion consisted mainly of frontiersmen and Western farmers who were disgruntled by Alexander Hamilton's whiskey excise tax.
Daniel Shays was born in Hopkinton, Massachusetts in 1747. He married Abigail Gilbert in 1772 and they settled in Brookfield, MA. In the latter part of his life, he moved to Sparta, New York, which is where he passed away in 1825.
