Thomas Jefferson supported Shays' Rebellion. He believed that occasional rebellion was necessary to keep governments in check and prevent them from becoming too powerful and oppressive. However, he also felt that the rebellion should have been peaceful and that violence should have been avoided if possible. Jefferson believed that rebellion was an important check on government power and that the people had the right to resist when their liberties were threatened. He famously wrote in a letter to James Madison, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
