                                     • High Payment for the
• No pay for many war veterans         governor
• Foreclosures of farms              • State offices based off
                                       of wealth not merit
Prohibited Money

                          Farmers wanted
                           circulation of paper
                           money
                          Would increase inflation,
                           so would be easier to pay
                           of debts
                          Officials wanted to
                           maintain current
                           currency, or else they
                           would receive back their
                           money at less value

Similar?

                Prohibiting the
                circulation of paper
                money was very similar
                to the Currency Act of
                1764 that the British
                imposed on the colonists.

Why were they in debt?
-Many farmers served in the revolutionary war and were not
paid at all for their service


   -if they were paid they received worthless government
   securities
Massachusetts raised taxes

 Massachusetts raised taxes to try and relieve debt;
 after poor farmers returned from fighting land taxes
 were raised to unreasonable rates
Uneven taxation

-Tax burden fell heavily on farmers
-only 1/3 of all taxes on goods, 2/3 of all taxes were
  on on land


        2/3


                                         1/3
Who did they blame?

-They blamed the government for favoring the commercial side in
  laws by not creating agricultural reforms that would allow them
  to easily pay back their debts.
The farmers wanted basic measures put in place by the government
  to ease the payment of their debts:
-Paper money
-Tender laws to they could pay their debts in crops and goods
-Government denied them of both
Postwar Conditions

           Unable to pay with coin
            and unable to sell goods
            for money in a bad
            economy, many yeomen
            fell into deep debt
           Public, as well as private
            debt can be attributed to
            weak central government
            unable to levy taxes
The rising tension

                                    Many Americans thought
                                     that the Massachusetts
                                     government was
                                     restricting their liberty in
                                     a similar way that Britain
                                     had done
                                    People argued that they
                                     had fulfilled their duty
                                     and fought in the war,
                                     yet the government was
                                     burdening them with

                                     unfair taxation.
Search and Seizure

 If debtors felt              Creditors were able to
  threatened, they would        foreclose and imprison
  file suit against their       those in debt through
  debtors                       lawsuits; imprisonment
                                was indefinite
                               Debtors had less
                                protection and creditors
                                were less compromising
Suspension of Habeas Corpus

                                               Habeas Corpus is a legal
                                                action that allows one to
                                                question their
                                                imprisonment
                                               In October, 1786
                                                Massachusetts officials
                                                suspended Habeas
