[QUOTE="HailTheLeaf:459087"]You really need to pull your head out of your ass and read more than one accepted view of history. Shays left the army because they weren't paying him, went home and found himself in debt, then he saw what the government was doing to others and he a problem with things like taking the bed right out from under a sick woman who couldn't pay taxes. The Boston legislature was refusing to issue paper money which would've made it easier for the farmers to pay their debts, so the farmers petitioned to redress their grievances in the General Court. They court wanted to hold proceedings to take away the farmer's cattle and land before they could get a word into the court, so the farmers got pissed off and organized. Shays got several hundred farmers to go parade around Springfield and let the government know that they weren't running things right. So the government started arresting them and hanging people. The farmers were never represented in a government which was supposed to be theirs. Where does John Adams come in? You brought him up first in his opposition to Shay's rebellion, if he was in Europe at the time then why bring him up before Samuel Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and Benjamin Lincoln? Thomas Jefferson was in France at the time but he got a few words in about it. "I hold in it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing" "It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government" Too bad he didn't feel that way about the natives and black people.
