It was conjectured by them, that the malcontents, from a want of resources, would be dispersed by the army under General Lincoln; and, in that case, they supposed it more than probable, that Shays would seize on the heights which lie between the counties of Hampshire and Berkshire, where strong posts were to be found, and the passes easily defended; and, thus situated, would draw the means of his subsistence, from the' towns well affected to government, which abounded in plenty; securing also, perhaps, the most important characters, as hostages. They therefore, voluntarily associated to the number of about 500, for the defence of themselves, and of the publick cause. In this body, most of the respectable inhabitants of the county were to be found, and men of the first importance submitted to the duty of the ranks. The insurgents began to assemble at Weft Stockbridge, under one Hubbard, who posted himself at the meeting os three roads, for the convenience probably, of collecting men. Here he drew together about 150 or 200 of the disaffected. It was conceived to be absolutely necessary, to disperse this party, before their nur&bers sliould grow more respectable. The whole body of the friends to government were ordered to march for this purpose, in several directions, which the roads naturally pointed out, and and which would enable them to surround the enemy. On the approach of an advanced party, consisting only of thirty seven infantry, and seven gentlemen on horseback, they were fired upon by Hubbard's sentries; and the whole of his men were instantly put into good order, and commanded to fire. But, such was the effect of their situation upon their minds, that they staggered apparently. Timely advantage was taken of their...

Unruly Americans and the Origins of the Constitution
Author: Woody HoltonPublisher: Hill and Wang
ISBN: 1429923660
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
Average Americans Were the True Framers of the Constitution Woody Holton upends what we think we know of the Constitution's origins by telling the history of the average Americans who challenged the framers of the Constitution and forced on them the revisions that produced the document we now venerate. The framers who gathered in Philadelphia in 1787 were determined to reverse America's post–Revolutionary War slide into democracy. They believed too many middling Americans exercised too much influence over state and national policies. That the framers were only partially successful in curtailing citizen rights is due to the reaction, sometimes violent, of unruly average Americans. If not to protect civil liberties and the freedom of the people, what motivated the framers? In Unruly Americans and the Origins of the Constitution, Holton provides the startling discovery that the primary purpose of the Constitution was, simply put, to make America more attractive to investment. And the linchpin to that endeavor was taking power away from the states and ultimately away from the people. In an eye-opening interpretation of the Constitution, Holton captures how the same class of Americans that produced Shays's Rebellion in Massachusetts (and rebellions in damn near every other state) produced the Constitution we now revere. Unruly Americans and the Origins of the Constitution is a 2007 National Book Award Finalist for Nonfiction.
