Every state was having economic trouble in the mid 1780’s An average family paid $200 a year in taxes – more than most people made in a year

DANIEL SHAYS leads a rebellion of about 1,500 men, mostly farmers They are upset about paying high taxes and want debt relief from the government

Government does not help them They gather and march on a federal arsenal – a storage place for weapons

About 900 state militia men stop the uprising The general public sides with the farmers Very close to having chaos because of taxes

SHAYS’ REBELLION

RESULT: The uprising is stopped Shays is pardoned years later

LASTING EFFECT: America realizes they need a stronger national government if they are to survive as a country.
