One cause of Shays's Rebellion was that Massachusetts refused to help farmers in debt. The state had imposed high taxes and debt collection measures, which led to widespread financial hardship among farmers, particularly those who were unable to pay their debts. This discontent ultimately led to the armed uprising in 1786-1787, known as Shays's Rebellion, as farmers protested against the economic injustices they faced.
