Dennis+H.+-+I+am+Daniel+Shays

**Historical Inquiry** My I AM person is Daniel Shays. I learned about him in Mr. A's American History class, with connection to Articles of Confederation and Shays rebellion. I, just like other students in the class, learned that he was the leader of Shays' rebellion, but I couldn't study deeper about him until the I AM project began. I chose to research about him because he sounds really just and brave. Also I was personally attracted by this person's complex background (joining the war, promotion to captain, becoming farmer back home, building his own army to protest against the government, etc..), and wanted to know more about this. Some questions that came to my mind while researching was about his early childhood. While researching, I noticed that little was known about his childhood. Every web sites and documents just stated "Not many information about this person's childhood", and contained only his birth year, birth place, and his father and mother's name. My next question is how he manged to gather so many farmers. At that time there was no internet, telephone, or other medium that could carry out the news of Shays plan of rebellion. It's surprising how he got so many farmers, and how he handled and controlled the troop. However my H.Q is: **What happened to Daniel Shays after the rebellion** **after his release?**
