Farmers were upset about high taxes – if they could not pay taxes they were put in jail
WHY:
![Page 19: Shays Rebellion and NW Territory](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55b73ff2bb61ebb5388b46ab/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Every state was having economic trouble in the mid 1780’s
An average family paid $200 a year in taxes – more than most people made in a year

DANIEL SHAYS leads a rebellion of about 1,500 men, mostly farmers
They are upset about paying high taxes and want debt relief from the government
![Page 21: Shays Rebellion and NW Territory](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042818/55b73ff2bb61ebb5388b46ab/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Government does not help them
They gather and march on a federal arsenal – a storage place for weapons

About 900 state militia men stop the uprising
The general public sides with the farmers
Very close to having chaos because of taxes
