Shays Rebellion ssahtrch07c06.fm Page 75 Friday, January 13, 2006 2:40 PM Name ___________________________ Date___________________ Class _____________ Creating the Constitution Primary Source Chapter and Section Chapter and James Bowdoin’s Account of Shays’ Rebellion James Bowdoin was governor of Massachusetts during Shays’ Rebellion. In this document, he recounted the event and its significance. Support Directions: Read the excerpt and answer the questions that follow. The rebels, under Daniel Shays, Luke Day, and Eli Parsons, soon gathered a force in that vicinity [of Springfield], of 2000 men, and on the 25th of January advanced in a menacing manner towards the arsenal [warehouse]. Gen. Shepard sent an aid-de- camp [officer] to inquire the design of the movement, and to warn Shays of his danger. The answer was, that they would have possession of the barracks [warehouse]; and they immediately marched to within 250 yards of the arsenal. They were again warned that if they approached nearer, they would be fired on; still they advanced. He then ordered the artillery to be pointed at the centre of their column [group]. The cry of murder then arose from the rear of the insurgents, and the whole were struck with panic and confusion. Shays lost all control over them, and they fled . 10 miles, leaving 3 dead and 1 wounded. Good frequently springs from evil. Shays’s Rebellion served to impress on the public mind a belief of the necessity of a new form of National Government. It may be doubted, whether the present United States Constitution would have been adopted, if that rebellion had not predisposed the minds of the people in favor of an energetic [powerful] government. 1. How many men did Shays gather together? ______________________________________________________________________ 2. What were the rebels going to do? How were they stopped? ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ 3.

Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Education ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Every Massachusetts schoolchild walks Boston’s Freedom Trail and learns the story of the Hancock house. Its demolition served as a rallying cry for early preservationists and students of historic preservation study its importance. Having been both a Massachusetts schoolchild and student of historic preservation, this project has inspired and challenged me for the past nine months. To begin, I must thank those who came before me who studied the objects and legacy of the Hancock house. I am greatly indebted to the research efforts of Henry Ayling Phillips (1852- 1926) and Harriette Merrifield Forbes (1856-1951). Their research notes, at the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Massachusetts served as the launching point for this project. This thesis would not have been possible without the assistance and guidance of my thesis adviser, Brock Jobe.

  • Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution
    Construction of the Massachusetts Constitution ROBERT J. TAYLOR J. HI s YEAR marks tbe 200tb anniversary of tbe Massacbu- setts Constitution, the oldest written organic law still in oper- ation anywhere in the world; and, despite its 113 amendments, its basic structure is largely intact. The constitution of the Commonwealth is, of course, more tban just long-lived. It in- fluenced the efforts at constitution-making of otber states, usu- ally on their second try, and it contributed to tbe shaping of tbe United States Constitution. Tbe Massachusetts experience was important in two major respects. It was decided tbat an organic law should have tbe approval of two-tbirds of tbe state's free male inbabitants twenty-one years old and older; and tbat it sbould be drafted by a convention specially called and chosen for tbat sole purpose. To use the words of a scholar as far back as 1914, Massachusetts gave us 'the fully developed convention.'^ Some of tbe provisions of the resulting constitu- tion were original, but tbe framers borrowed heavily as well. Altbough a number of historians have written at length about this constitution, notably Prof. Samuel Eliot Morison in sev- eral essays, none bas discussed its construction in detail.^ This paper in a slightly different form was read at the annual meeting of the American Antiquarian Society on October IS, 1980.

  • Ethan Allen to Guy Carleton, Lord Dorchester, Quebec 16 July 17881
    Ethan Allen to Guy Carleton, Lord Dorchester, Quebec 16 July 17881 My Lord. I have the honor of addressing your Lordship, on the subject of American politics, as it may respect the reciprocal interest of Great Britain, and the little rising State of Vermont. Your Lordship is undoubtedly sensible of the Jealousy of the United States over Vermont, since it is not and will not be confederated with them. They proceed so far as to threaten its subjugation, as soon as they have established their new proposed constitution and made their government sufficiently energetic. Their arguements for so doing, (in 1 Printed: Duffy, Allen, I, 273–75. The severely damaged manuscript is in the Henry Stevens Collection in the Vermont State Archives. Allen (1738– 1789), a revolutionary and military leader, was a native of Connecticut. In 1770 he moved with his brothers to the New Hampshire Grants in the Green Mountains, where he formed the Green Mountain Boys to challenge New York’s jurisdiction over the territory. In 1775 he led the Green Mountain Boys in capturing Fort Ticonderoga. The Second Continental Congress gave him command of the Green Mountain Regiment in the Continental Army, but political enemies took the command from him. During the invasion of Canada in 1775, Allen was taken prisoner by the British and endured considerable hardships in prison. In 1778 the British released him, largely through the efforts of his family. From 1778 to 1784 he was commander-in-chief of Vermont’s military forces and political advisor to Governor Thomas Chittenden. From 1778 to 1781 he tried to convince Congress to grant statehood to Vermont; failing in that he sought annexation to the British Empire.

  • James Bowdoin: Patriot and Man of the Enlightenment (Pamphlet)
    JAMES BOWDOIN N COLLEGE May 2 8 — September i 2 1976 Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2015 https://archive.org/details/jannesbowdoinpatrOObowd_0 JAMES BOWDOIN Patriot and Man of The Enlightenment JAMES Bowdoin's role in the American Revolution has never re- ceived frofer fublic recognition. Bowdoin^s friendship with Franklin, Washington, Revere and others fut him in the midst of the struggle for Independence; at the same time his social position and family ties gave him entree to British leaders and officials. In lyyo, his own brother-in-law was Colonial Secretary for the Gover- nor, yet Bowdoin wrote the tract on the Boston Massacre, which clearly blamed the British for the incident and sent Boston down the road toward Revolution. This exhibition seeks not only to reveal Bowdoin^s importance in the Revolution, but also his contributions in the field of finance, science, literature and the arts. He was as well educated as any American in the eighteenth century and subscribed to the principles of The Enlightenment, which encouraged iyivestigation into the nat- ural world and practice of the graces of life. To accomplish these goals, the Museum commissioned the frst major biography of Bowdoin in the form of a catalogue which will be published on July 4, igy6. We are most grateful to Professor Gordon E. Kershaw, author of The Kennebeck Proprietors, 1749- 1775, and specialist on James Bowdoin, for writing the catalogue. The Museum has also attempted to tell the Bowdoin story purely with objects of art. Like books, objects contain data and ideas. Their stories can be ^Wead^^ if only one examines the object and asks certain questions such as: what kind of society is needed to produce such a work? What traditional or European motifs are used, which motifs are rejected and what new ones are introduced? What was the use or function of the object? Beyond this, the exhibition is intended to show that James Bowdoin expressed an interest in art not only in commissions for painting and silver but also in the execution of a bank note or scientific instrument.

In 1833, Massachusetts was the last state in the nation to “disestablish” taxation and state support for churches.1 What, if any, impact did John Adams have on this process of liberalization? What were Adams’ views on religious freedom and how did they change over time? In this intriguing article Dr. Arthur Scherr traces the evolution, or lack thereof, in Adams’ views on religious freedom from the writing of the original 1780 Massachusetts Constitution to its revision in 1820. He carefully examines contradictory primary and secondary sources and seeks to set the record straight, arguing that there are many unsupported myths and misconceptions about Adams’ role at the 1820 convention.
