The event you are referring to is Shays' Rebellion, which occurred in 1786-1787 in Massachusetts. It was led by Daniel Shays and involved a group of mostly small farmers who protested against economic injustices, including heavy debts and high taxes imposed by the state government. The uprising highlighted the struggles faced by rural communities and ultimately contributed to the call for a stronger federal government, leading to the Constitutional Convention.
