It was Shays' Rebellion that tipped the scales in favor of the convention. The rebellion, which lasted from August of 1786 to June of 1787, was led by Daniel Shays.

What was the Constitutional Convention originally called?

The convention of 1787 had no official name when it was called by Congress in its February 1787 resolution. It merely set a date and place for the convention. Indeed references to the convention afterward were equally vague in title. Not until 1835 when Congress authorized the publishing of the official record of the convention taken by the designated secretary of the convention, was an official title given to the convention. The official title given the convention by act of Congress was the "1787 Federal Convention."


How did the Constitutional Convention deal with slave trade?

The Constitutional Convention left the slave trade untaxed and untouched. Delegates from the southern States were naturally wary about the prospect of Congress being able to regulate America's interstate and foreign trade. They were afraid that the North would use its influence in Congress to levy taxes on the slave trade and the cotton trade. The delegates from the South pushed for, and won, a compromise on the matter: the Commerce and Slave Trade Compromise. This agreement made it so Congress could regulate interstate and foreign trade, but could not tax exports. This meant that cotton exports from the South would not be affected. In addition, Congress was forbidden from regulating the slave trade for 20 years.
