<em>The Stamp Act of 1765.</em>

Explanation:

The Stamp Act was the tax that got put on the colonists by Great Britain, this made it so the colonists had to pay taxes on certain types of paper products, like newspapers.

This act was put on the colonists in 1765 and they did not agree with it at all. Many colonists were outraged by this and thought it was unfair that they were being taxed. They felt as if they had no say in what they were being taxed in and they had no colonists in British Parliament that could help plead their case, this is known as "taxation without representation." Great Britain said they needed the money from the colonists in order to pay for the French and Indian War, which was expensive, and they had British troops protecting the colonists. The colonists didn't agree with Great Britain and how they were trying to justify taxing them.

Over time, the colonists started to boycott the merchants and businesses that were selling goods that were stamped by the Stamp Act. They even went as far as threatening the merchants that were selling them and burning many goods. Great Britain realized that many British merchants and businesses were being harmed and essentially nobody was buying the stamped products. They ended up repealing the Stamp Act of 1765 after all of the outrage from the colonists.

Which is the BEST description of Shays' Rebellion of 1786-87?
sineoko [7]
Shays' Rebellion The economy in the period following the American Revolution was extremely precarious. Due to the war, there was massive debt throughout the United States. Foreign investors who aided the Patriots during the war started to call in their debts and Congress had to borrow money simply to pay accumulating interest. In addition, the Articles of Confederation ensured that unity in solving the economic crisis would be difficult. Some states had paid what was requested of them, while others could not make the minimum amount asked. At the local level, farmers were struggling. They could not pay off their taxes or support their families. The economic hardship was exacerbated by the lack of commercial banks in the state, so people borrowed from each other in a pyramid of debt and credit. In 1785, English banking houses heavily involved with American trade began to call in debts as prices went down. American merchants then called in their debts -- a chain reaction that went all the way to the bottom: farmers. The government that collected the farmers taxes was controlled by creditor and commercial interests and would not grant reprieve to the struggling farmers. The farmers petitioned the state government for an extension on their payments and issuing of new paper money to pay debts and taxes. However, the state government was not sympathetic to the farmers. Frustrated with the inability to pay their taxes and debts, much less support their families, Massachusetts farmers stepped outside the law to solve their problems. Like most rebellions, meetings stressed non-violence, but soon the angry mobs took action. The farmers prevented the county courts from sitting, which were responsible for writs of property foreclosure. Farmers gathered around an old Revolutionary War veteran, Daniel Shays. He too had fallen on hard times following the war and felt cheated that he wasn't compensated for his time in the Continental Army. Shays led 1,200 men to the federal arsenal at Springfield, attempting a full uprising on January 26, 1787. The state militia, financed by Eastern merchants fearing property damage, swept in and forced the "Shaysites" to retreat. Though Shays' Rebellion failed, it paved the way for massive changes in US government. By then, it was understood that the Articles of Confederation had to be revised. After the American Revolution, there was a period of "Republican Extremism" that minimized government control, symbolized by the loose Articles of Confederation. But with Shays' Rebellion, a group (eventually the Federalists) formed calling for more governmental control and a new national Constitution. Shays '​ Rebellion was an armed uprising which took place in Massachusetts during 1786 and 1787. Some historians believe "fundamentally altered the course of the United States' history. Shay's rebellion was an armed uprising in central and western Massachusetts, led by Daniel Shays. It was in protest of high taxes and farm mortgages.
