When the U.S was barely starting to become the land of dreams, there was no money in the state.

The U.S had money issue to begin with and could not pay much money to the farmers. That led to farmers not being able to raise enough money to pay their deeds to the state. The government decided that if they could not pay with cash, they would pay with time in jail. This unfairness got to a point were Shayss Rebellion came to action and started a revelation against the governments decision. Shayss Rebellion illustrated two things; that the national government under the article of confederation was powerless to raise money to pay back the debt or pay back the soldiers because each law had to be approved by every single state. Another thing that was proven was that there would be a general agreement which made a stronger federal government. Throughout the revolutionary war, four men were killed and 20 wounded. Overall, this rebelled against the courts to prevent more decisions against farmer, tried to take a federal weapon dept. Shayss attention was to help to straighten the federal government and the constitution.
