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.

It lasted from September 1786 to February 1787.

That's not exactly The Hundred Years' War.

The attack on the armory was its first major action, which was a failure, and it effectively ended a week later.

the power people

Did you pick this phrase up in Zuccotti Park?

Creditors have a right for their debts to be repaid on time, and the government has the power to collect the taxes the assembly has voted to levy.

There is a difference between George Washington and Peter Pan.
