Excerpt from Captain Shays: A Populist of 1786 There is nothing new under the sun. During the past few years our country has been in the throes of an agrarian and financial agitation, and there are many among us who think that this condition of affairs is something new, that we have a new problem to solve. This is far from being the case. We have but to turn to the pages of the histories of the United States dealing with the period directly succeeding the Revolution to learn that the first troubles that confronted government were much the same as those that confront it now. From the close of the Revolution until 1787-88 the agricultural classes, especially in New England, were in very much the same frame of mind as that in which we find the farmers of the Western States to-day.
