Shays' Rebellion
Shays' Rebellion was an important part in history. Due to the war and market business’s farmers were forced to sell their land to pay off all of their debts. They needed guidance and Shay came along and gave them that. The farmers went outside of the court houses for their jury meeting and waited outside with weapons so judges could not come in and take away their land. Laws were made to not benefit them and it made all situations worse. At this point they were seeking justice. George Washington finally came out of retirement to help shape the new government throwing away the Articles of Confederation and starting the Constitution.
