ID 1: Shays Rebellion

The Shay Rebellion was an armed movement named after Daniel Shays, a farmer, and former

soldier. The uprising conducted series of attacks on courthouses and various government

properties in Massachusetts. These violent attacks began in 1786 resulting in a full-propelled

military confrontation in 1787. The armed rebels were comprised of mostly ex-revolutionary war

soldiers who had become farmers. They opposed the state economic policies that spurred poverty

and foreclosures of property.

I chose Shays Rebellion because its causes resulted in the economic reforms in the USA. Some

of its causes include the little compensation paid to farmers that fought in the revolutionary war

and the higher taxes expected to be paid to Massachusetts compared to those that the residents

previously paid to the British. Also, the businesses in Boston were required to pay for goods

Purchased by farmers on credit yet there was no paper money nor valuables such as gold or

silver to settle the debts.

ID 2: Second Great Awakening,

The second awakening was a religious revival in the United States beginning from the late 18

century to 19 century. Although it occurs in every part of the US, it was particularly strong in the

Midwest and Northeast. It began as a revival in 179 and later became a movement in 1800. After

1820, the number of members had increased rapidly among Baptist and Methodist congregation,

whose preachers formed the leadership of the movement.
