SHAYS REBELLION & the MARCH on SPRINGFIELD ARSENAL
A SUCCESSFUL & SIMPLE SIMULATION
Appropriate for grade 5 through Middle School.
OVERVIEW: This game has been successful in introducing conflict situations or comparative systems. It is presented here to help learners understand the 1787 storming of Springfield Arsenal, Springfield, Massachusetts, by armed rebels during what has come to be known as Shays’s Rebellion. The attack was repulsed with the loss of four rebels killed and many wounded. Fear of similar rebellions led directly to the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia.
