Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787 showed different things to different observers at the time -- and even now. At that time, an observer the likes of Thomas Jefferson was unaffected: he seemed to think that it represented an appropriate kind independence-mindedness among free peoples. For others, it demonstrated the need for making stronger powers available to the federal government, which is precisely what was enacted through the Constitution of the United States in the same period.
