Veterans of the Revolutionary War were upset after the war ended primarily because they had not received the promised pay for their service. Many soldiers faced financial difficulties and felt betrayed by the government for not fulfilling its commitments concerning their wages and pensions. This discontent contributed to various uprisings and protests, most notably Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787, which highlighted the economic struggles faced by veterans and the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation.
