Shays' Rebellion was an equipped rebellion occurred in Western Massachusetts in resistance to a mortgage crisis among the citizenry and the state government's expanded attempts to raise taxes both on people and their businesses. The rebellion or this fight began in the years 1786 and 1787. Ex-soldier of the American Revolutionary War, Daniel Shays, headed 4000 revolutionaries in a demonstration against financial and civil rights violations.
