shays' rebellion
even in good economic times, farmers usually had only a little bit of extra goods to trade or sell after they had provided for their families they rarely had much actual money. so farm families had trouble paying their taxes. many, like captain daniel shays of massachusetts, had been paid for serving in the army, but the paper money was worthless because the government had no wealth which would give it value. in january 1787, shays and about 1,000 other farmers seized weapons from the springfield armory and closed courts so their property could not be sold off. shays' rebellion was easily put down, but it convinced many that a stronger government was needed to address the country's problems.

state government reform
in oregon, reformer william s. u'ren established the referendum, in which the people voted to decide some issues directly. in new york, governor charles evans hughes pushed through the first workmen's compensation act, providing benefits for injured workers.
the secret ballot was one of many reforms first proposed by the populists. in the past, each party had a brightly colored ballot; after marking it, the voter dropped it into a ballot box in full view of everyone in the room. the secret ballots looked the same and were marked in private, so people did not have to reveal how they had voted. -

stock market crash of 1929
during the summer of 1929, the stock market reached record highs. there were hints of problems ahead, but few people paid attention. for one thing, too many people's wealth depended on buying stocks on margin, creating a debt that would be hard to repay if stock prices fell. another hint was the slowdown in buying-most families had already bought a car, furniture, and an array of household appliances, and did not need any more. but factories continued to produce goods at record rates, creating huge inventories of unsold products that just sat in warehouses and on store shelves. also, farms continued to fail at an alarming rate as prices dropped and money stopped coming in.
in the fall of 1929, the prices of stocks dropped sharply, then recovered—until october 29, 1929, when they collapsed. stocks that had sold for $90 a share or more were suddenly almost worthless. investors lost nearly $8 billion on that one day.
once people lost confidence in the stock market, it touched off a chain reaction. brokers demanded that investors pay their margin loans, and banks asked for the money they had loaned the brokers. millions of people withdrew their money from banks. this "run" on the banks caused hundreds of banks to run out of cash and forced them to close temporarily. in the aftermath of the stock market crash, there were stories about people who jumped out of windows and killed themselves—which did happen, although the stories often exaggerated the numbers of victims. -
