Shays’ Rebellion
Daniel Shays was a reluctant rebel. A captain who served
“with distinction” in the American Revolution, by 1786 he
was, like so many others, a very poor farmer. During the
depression that followed the war, farmers in Massachusetts
lacked the political clout needed to obtain relief from their
situation. When petitions proved futile, a group of 1,200 des
perate farmers persuaded Shays to be their leader. On
January 2S, 1787, they marched on the arsenal at Springfield,
Massachusetts. The farmers were defeated by the militia and
Shays fled to Vermont, but their efforts gained the support of
Thomas Jefferson. Ultimately, relief measures were passed
and in June 1788 £hays was given a full pardon.
I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a
good thing and as necessary in the political world
as storms in the physical. Tkomas Jefferson
