"economic inequity" lol yep so that's NOTHING new.. we are hearing this same thing today.. and one of reasons tax tax tax. I like the idea of ONLY landowners voting... we need that today..land owners to vote in state, and federal tax PAYERS net sum. in federal elections. Great motivation to be a tax payer than receiver.

This story is starting to remind me of modern times...

title FAIL: Shays'...NOT Shay's

@fringehouse hahaha ikr

It would be more accurate for this video to be entitled "Shays's Rebellion" as the leader of this rebellion was named Daniel Shays and not Daniel Shay. ;)

The guy who is in the gray coat with a bow-tie seems so pretentious. He even fakes an accent at one point in efforts to sound intellectually superior.

[catalina0110]

really educated video..nice : )

[jghprofhist]

The confusion might be that Shay's Rebellion spurred people into action--but it spurred the Constitutional Convention not the Declaration of Independence--but in the same family--all part of the broad American Revolution!

WAIT! I thought things with the Shays' rebellion was in 1776... Or am it thinking abhout something else?

[flippysnotze]

Not much has changed in Massachusetts politics since 1787.

[jghprofhist]

the power of visual storytelling!

Funny how revolutions only exchange one tyranny for

another.

And funny how advocates of "self-government" are always

against self-government when people they oppress wish to

be free of them.

Who owns the copyright to this video? I want to use this video to educate people about debt counseling and using this video to show that we are facing the same issue as our forefather's had faced.

@lawforever

It wasn't the aristocratic slave-owning founding fathers such as Samuel Adams who fought for shay's rebellion, rather they were the ones who caused such a crisis by exploiting the working-class and poor as well as supporting the profits of banks who were manipulating farmers. Also it was them that tried to diminish such resistance and dissent. We shouldn't try to skew history to fit it into our biased idolizations. Though the founding fathers did good, they also did much wrongdoing

[crazycuntryboy2]

Shay's Rebellion was NOT a rebellion. It was the SAME as the Revolution

[asznman]

@crazycuntryboy2

revloution if you win and rebellion if you lose?

[EBanonymous]

Boston's rich elite ran the African slave trade

The Mass constitution of 1780 raised property qualificatios for voting & only the very wealthy could be in legislature, so they weren't "elected leaders" because the majoorty couldn't vote

thousands stared it. Shay didn't get involved until Sept 1786. Sam Adams' Riot Act put pop in priosn indefinetly & suspnded habeaus corpus

Those veterans wern't paid in cash - only certificates - for the revolution so they had no money & were being hurt
