My research paper was written about Shays' Rebellion of 1786-1787. After the revolutionary wars, America had built up massive amounts of war debt. In 1786, the state of Massachusetts raised taxes to pay for that debt and farmers became furious. Farmers had little cash on hand to pay the higher taxes leaving many of them destitute. Foreclosures of farms was rising and many farmers faced debtor's prison over lack of payment.
