What were your findings? Station 4 In June of 1783, the Revolutionary War was practically over and the country was only waiting for small details of the Treaty of Paris to be worked out. The army was going to be disbanded and sent home to their families- except that they were being sent back without the pay they had been promised. In fact, Congress has failed to pay the soldiers for quite some time and was not showing any signs of planning to pay them for their service. The soldiers were not about to let their newly formed government deny them what had been promised. The men knew if they simply went home back to their families, then they would be powerless to demand their pay. So, on June 17, 1783 the Continental Army soldiers stationed in Philadelphia sent a letter to Congress threatening them if payments were made. Congress decided to ignore threat. However, two days later, 80 soldiers left their posts and joined forces with other nearby soldiers. As they marched along, the group had grown to more than 500 angry men and they seized control of the weapons stores. The next morning, 400 armed soldiers surrounded Independence Hall (where Congress was meeting) and demanded their pay.
