  • Massachusetts farmers struggled after the war because prices for crops had fallen, and many of them were deeply in debt. Even paying mortgagesand other debts.
  • Massachusetts decided to solve its debt problem by taxing its citizens. The state government was based in the East in Boston. The taxes they put in place fell on the farmers who mostly lived in the western part of the state.Massachusetts courts began to confiscate farmers’ homes and send them to debtor’s prison because they couldn't pay them off.
