No...that wasn’t what was happening. At all. That was a rebellion against a tyrannical government that afforded them no representation. The thugs of Missouri have an abundance of representation.And yet that is exactly what was happening when Jefferson included your favorite quote in his letter to James Madison. They were talking about Shay's Rebellion in Massachusetts.
In addition, the thugs of Missouri were rioting because justice was properly and legally served against a fellow thug.
Even implying that Missouri and Shay’s Rebellion were the same thing is appalling on an unthinkable level. And it’s extremely disingenuous.
