Assignment Task:
Deep dive into Shay's Rebellion. We have a lot here -- veterans, taking up arms, making demands for their right, and having it put down violently by proxy forces for the government.
Please sleuth around too, and look versions of the Shay's rebellion on the web as you may like. Were these guys in the right? -- As citizens, to stage an armed rebellion? What about Shay's Rebellion seems like it would attract support today? Should government feel confident in striking back at those who take up arms and defend their rights? How do you see this event? Feel free to elaborate.
