Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Shays´ Rebellion was caused by:____, would be: C: an armed uprising of farmers angered by debt collection.

Explanation:

After the American Revolution, around 1870, many of the soldiers who returned to their lands, especially in Massachusetts, became farmers and began to struggle to pay for the debts they had acquired during the American Revolution, and because they had not received their dues for having sacrificed their efforts in the Revolution. To add insult to injury, the governor of Massacusetts decided to levy even further taxes on his citizens, which increased poverty and need and to pay for them he foreclosed several properties and placed some of the farmers in jail. This created a series of violent attacks on government buildings, from 1876 and which led to military confrontation.
