1786 · Shays' Rebellion
Caused by war veteran Daniel Shays, Shays' Rebellion was to protest economic and civil rights injustices that he and other farmers were seeing after the Revolutionary War. Because of the Rebellion it opened the eyes of the governing officials that the Articles of Confederation needed a reform. The Rebellion served as a guardrail when helping reform the United States Constitution.
Name Meaning
English (North Yorkshire): variant of Fairhall , a habitational name from a lost locality in Sussex. The pronunciation, with initial /v/, is appropriate for a Sussex origin, and the presence of this form of the name in North Yorkshire suggests that a branch of the Sussex family had migrated to North Yorkshire by the mid 17th century.
