Question

anonymous · Answer

Shay's Rebellion was caused by a tax on the making of whiskey. Many farmers of western Pennsylvania would make whiskey from excess corn, Congress needed money and thought that taxing this would bring more income. The farmers were not happy and many banded together to stop the courts from seizing their land.

Shay's Rebellion was caused by a tax on the making of whiskey. Many farmers of western Pennsylvania would make whiskey from excess corn, Congress needed money and thought that taxing this would bring more income. The farmers were not happy and many banded together to stop the courts from seizing their land. (Land was being seized by the court to make up for the farmers' debts from taxing.) President Washington personally led an army to come stop the rebellion. Shay's rebellion was one of the first challenges for the new American government.
It was a rebellion started by angry farmers because of new taxes in the early years of the USA.
