George Washington referred to Shays' Rebellion as a triumph for the nation's enemies because it exposed the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and demonstrated the potential for disorder and discontent among the populace. The rebellion highlighted the inability of the federal government to maintain order and protect property rights, which could be exploited by foreign adversaries. Washington believed that the unrest could undermine the credibility of the young nation and embolden those who opposed its stability and governance.
