Shays’ Rebellion was an armed uprising that took place in Massachusetts. Daniel Shays led an army full of farmers in response to a debt crisis that was going on, and also in opposition to the government’s attempt to collect taxes. The significance of this rebellion was that it emphasized the weaknesses that were in the Articles of Confederation. This led to the creation of the U.S. Constitution.
