Shays rebellion in 1787 was in response to what select all that apply. Would it be expansion of territories the northwest ordinance of Farms or increased taxes?

Answer 1

Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787 was primarily a response to increased taxes and economic hardship in post-Revolutionary War America, particularly in Massachusetts. The rebellion was fueled by issues such as high taxes, foreclosure on farms, and the lack of government support for farmers struggling with debt.

So, the correct responses would be:

• Increased taxes

Shays' Rebellion was not a direct response to the expansion of territories or the Northwest Ordinance, so those options would not apply. The Northwest Ordinance was established to organize territories and manage future states but was not a direct cause of the rebellion.
