During Shays' Rebellion, which took place in 1786-1787, four members of the rebellion were killed in a confrontation at the Springfield Armory in February 1787. The uprising was primarily a protest against economic injustices and the lack of government response to the financial struggles faced by farmers in Massachusetts. While the rebellion itself highlighted the tensions of the time, the loss of life was relatively limited compared to the broader implications it had for American governance.
