These excerpts from the History of Worcester are about Shays’ Rebellion (1786-1787) in Western Massachusetts. Following the American Revolution, a severe recession combined with a newly introduced real estate tax, and a shortage of money, devastated many Massachusetts farmers, including Daniel Shays, who was the leader of the rebellion.
