	Shays's Rebellion: The American Revolution's Final Battle \| Book Reviews \| EH.Net
		(2) Many Shaysites were "gentlemen;" many were members of the most prominent families in their towns; many were local leaders (militia officers and selectmen); many were former Revolutionary soldiers; a fair number were former officers in the Revolution; a few were even members of the Society of the Cincinnati.
		Yet it also is true that the Shaysites, without a doubt, were opposed to a more consolidated government and the Constitution.
		And many former Shaysites were delegates to the Massachusetts ratifying convention.

	The Shays Rebellion - by Monty Rainey
		In an effort to avoid the blood that would be shed in the event of an attack, the commander of the local militia unit garrisoned at the arsenal-General William Shepard-sent his aids to warn the rebels that the armory would be vigorously defended and, if attacked, they would use their cannon to defend themselves.
		Not to be deterred, and fully prepared to die, the Shaysites disregarded the warning and proceeded towards the garrison.
		The new government eventually proved to be more negligent and vengeful than the previous one but by that time, the remaining Shaysites were too tired to fight, and many of the financial problems for resistance were minified by an economic upturn in 1788 that eased the credit situation.

		Far from being the dregs of society, Richards demonstrates that the Shaysites were sturdy yeomen farmers and their sons.
		Resisting a regime that served the few at the expense of the many, these activists followed in the footsteps of the Carolinians who had challenged inequitable colony governments in the 1760s and 1770s.
		Richards argues that the Shaysites also saw themselves carrying on the Revolution by resisting a distant, oppressive government, this time in Boston rather than London.

	Jensen, Szatmary, Pencak on Causes of the Contituional Convention
		The Shaysites’ boasting that they would next block the supreme court and take the federal arsenal located at Springfield was perhaps redolent of treason.
		Although few Shaysites had served in the Revolution, they deferred to the ideals of the Revolution to justify what they were doing.
		Still, the Shaysites refused to work within the legal boundaries to voice their grievances, possibly because they were not adept at doing so.
