The OP overlooked mentioning Shay's Rebellion in western Massachusettes in the 1780's. It closed down courthouses in order to halt foreclosures.

The Articles of Conferderation had no provision whereby the central government could sent military aid to a State. This weakness was the final kick in the pants to the founders, leading to the adoption of the Constitution.
