@Waterloo2 @retrohondajunki From the very beginning. Revolutionary War vets/farmers rioted when Washington was president. Their protest was BRUTALLY put down.

Reading about Shays' Rebellion in the 1780s this morning & stumbled across something startling. When the federal government called up troops to put down the rebellion, apparently "the government claimed the troops were needed due to 'Indian troubles'" (yikes yikes yikes) presumably because no one would sign up to go shoot at Revolutionary War vets on behalf of banks & big business!
