Shays's Rebellion was primarily led by farmers, particularly those facing economic hardships and heavy tax burdens in post-Revolutionary War Massachusetts. The rebellion was named after Daniel Shays, one of the leaders. In response to the uprising, the state government called out the militia to suppress the rebellion and restore order. Thus, it was the farmers who initiated the rebellion, while the militia was called in by the government to quell it.
George Washington led the militia against the farmers in the Whiskey Rebellion to assert federal authority and maintain order. The rebellion arose in response to a federal excise tax on whiskey, which many farmers viewed as unfair. By mobilizing troops, Washington aimed to demonstrate that the government had the power to enforce its laws and discourage further insurrection. This action also underscored the importance of national unity and the rule of law in the newly formed United States.
