3 Farmer Rebellions:
Bacon’s Rebellion
Shay’s Rebellion
Whiskey Rebellion
Compare and contrast 3 rebellions:
Bacon’s Rebellion: Farmers wanted to get more land westward, cheaper, but the governor said no.
Shay Rebellion: Massachusetts farmers, taxes very high, were not paid for their efforts in the war.
Whiskey Rebellion: Pennsylvania, sold whiskey on off season, high tax, got angry.
The reasons why these 3 rebellions occurred were all varied, however, they were all due to problems with the government and had poor people involved. In Bacon’s rebellion, poor farmers rebelled against the fact the governor did not help them in obtaining more land westward. They thought it was unfair for them to not get help in fighting against the Natives. Shay’s Rebellion was due to Massachusetts farmers having high taxes that they could not afford and for not getting their pay for fighting in the war. The Whiskey Rebellion was due to farmers in Pennsylvania revolting against the double tax on whiskey, a side hustle they could not afford. To compare they are all farmers and did not agree with the high taxes, to contrast they all had different reasons for revolting.

All farmers
All were oppressed by the government
Money led
All taxed
