The spirit of disorganization which had manifested itself in Massachusetts in 1781, was not entirely eradicated; on the contrary, it made its appearance in a more formidable and extensive manner in 178(5-7, in what is termed Shays' insurrection. The only officers of the Revolutionary army engaged in this affair were Shays, who had been a captain in Gen. Putnam's regiment, Capt. Wiley, and Ensign Day. Each of them had a party, and their aggregate force amounted to about two thousand men. "When G...en. Tupper BENJAMIN TUPPER. 225 returned from the west, after completing the survey of the seven ranges, this insurrection had assumed a formida- ble aspect. Immediately on his return he took an active part in putting it down. The duty of calling out the militia to suppress this rebellion, devolved on Gen. Shepard, who acted under the orders of the governor. Gen. Tupper of- fered his services to him, and acted in the capacity of volun- tary aid.
