Description:

"A Little Rebellion" fills in the blanks about the stormy decade between the Revolution and the Constitution, giving students a dramatic way to visualize and remember: The economic crisis in the new republic The powerlessness of the Continental Congress The chain of debt and the spread of unrest throughout New England The Constitutional Convention, with Madison's defense of the Virginia Plan The ratification of the new Constitution I SAW THESE HISTORIC EVENTS COME ALIVE BEYOND ALL MY EXPECTATIONS. I RECOMMEND IT WITH ENTHUSIASM to all who are either teaching or learning about the 'little rebellion' that served as a catalytic event in assembling the Convention that gave us our Constitution. -James MacGregor Burns, Pulitzer Prize in History Your video on Shays' Rebellion was the highlight of our presentation in History-it brought the explanations in our textbooks to life. It also helped our class identify with the farmers' struggles and relate to their determined effort. Thank you for making such an outstanding film! -Cynthia R., high school student
