In 1786, Massachusetts experienced Shays' Rebellion, an armed uprising led by Daniel Shays. The rebellion was primarily fueled by economic distress, high taxes, and the lack of government response to the financial hardships faced by rural farmers. The event highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and contributed to the calls for a stronger federal government, ultimately leading to the Constitutional Convention in 1787.
