The Confederation government quickly put down a rebellion of farmers in Massachusetts in 1786 - this statement is not true.

The Shays' Rebellion was an armed rebellion uprising in Massachusetts. The federal government found itself unable to finance troops to put down the rebellion, so it was consequently put down by the Massachusetts State militia and a privately funded local militia.
