What happened when the regulators marched on the arsenal late in the afternoon of January W 1787?

On January 21, 1787, regulators, protesting against economic injustices and oppressive tax policies, marched on the arsenal in Springfield, Massachusetts, aiming to seize weapons and ammunition. This armed rebellion was part of Shays' Rebellion, led by Daniel Shays, highlighting the discontent among rural citizens. However, the local militia, loyal to the state government, successfully defended the arsenal, leading to the dispersal of the regulators. The incident underscored the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and intensified calls for a stronger federal government.
