Is it possible for some kind of overthrow of the government to occur within America’s newborn years? By which, I mean until at the very latest 1800. I know all about Shay’s Rebellion and it got me thinking if some large scale version of that would occur. It would essentially be the fate of so many other newly-independent and/or post-revolution countries.
The cause of it would have to be some kind of government action that made the public think that they were stepping out of their boundaries and becoming just like the Crown. Perhaps an earlier attempt to tax the people after gaining independence?
In my POD, Shay’s Rebellion is also butterflied as to not give Congress the special urge to reform the government and to make them unprepared on how to handle it (because of how long it took them to put down Shay’s in the first place).
