A direct corollary of the Articles of Confederation, Shay's rebellion reflected clearly what the newly-created government system of the United States lacked and what it should contain to encumber such harmful consequences in the future. Daniel Shay was a farmer, who was coerced to pay high taxes by the state government, a practice that was common in state governments as they were fully taking undue advantage of the extra privileges and autonomy that the Articles of Confederation had given them. Nevertheless poor farmers could not afford to pay those taxes as they barely managed to support their families with their meager income.
So Shay was not the only farmer who was involved in perpetuating the rebellion. Ergo many other farmers under the leadership of Shay revolted against the rules of high state taxes. In the absence of an army, Shay's rebellion wandered freely and were not restricted by any power to stop them from spreading chaos, which was only stopped when soldiers were hired to end the fighting by some businesspeople.
