Shay's Rebellion happened five years after the War of Independence ended, and 75 years before the Civil War began.

Shay's Rebellion was the precursor and predictor of no wider movement.

Shay's Rebellion was put down quickly by the state government, and is considered by some to be a contributing factor to the US Constitution being much more strongly federal than the Articles of Confederation - but the Rebellion was a complete failure that produced nothing..

You seem to have some strong feelings about Shay’s Rebellion. That’s interesting.

It was not put down quickly. Perhaps attacking the Springfield Armory but the Rebellion arose from the power people squeezing the little people.
