The rebellion you are referring to is Shays' Rebellion, which took place in 1786-1787. It was led by Daniel Shays and involved farmers in western Massachusetts protesting against high taxes and economic injustices, particularly the government's decision to raise taxes to pay off debt rather than issuing paper money. The unrest highlighted the economic struggles of rural citizens and ultimately contributed to discussions about the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and the need for a stronger federal government.
