2:30 The farmers were war veterans who wren't paid in cash; those certificates were useless. The govt also refused to print paper money so they couldn't pay - suprise
The Mass Constitution of 1780 raised voting qualifications & only very wealthy could be in legislature, so the farmers weren't represented
The Riot Act by Sam Adams was indefinite jail & suspended habeaus corpus
Those were the things the revolution fought against; the farmers property & money was stolen. West Point? figures..
So, Shay's rebellion should teach us that mortgages and banks are BAD. The Government (or the FED) can change the value of money at will (and they DO) so ALL contracts valued in U.S. dollars are VERY risky things.
