Was Daniel Shay's a hero or a traitor?

Daniel Shays is often viewed as a hero by those who support the fight for farmers' rights and economic justice during Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787. He led a protest against oppressive tax and debt policies that were harming rural communities in Massachusetts. However, opponents may label him a traitor for his rebellion against the government, which they saw as a challenge to Law and Order. Ultimately, perspectives on his legacy depend on one’s views on civil disobedience and the struggles of the time.
