Daniel Shays led an armed uprising known as Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787 primarily to protest economic injustices and the lack of government support for struggling farmers in Massachusetts. The rebellion aimed to confront the state government's heavy tax burdens and debt enforcement practices that threatened to strip farmers of their land and livelihoods. By raiding an arsenal, Shays sought to acquire weapons and ammunition to support the rebellion against what he and his followers viewed as oppressive policies. This uprising highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and ultimately contributed to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.
