Answer 1

D) There weren't enough ships to send US goods to other country was the cause of the economic problems of the United States in the 1780s

Step-by-step explanation:

After the clash between America and Britain, the government banned the trade between two countries as there was a huge loss like destruction of ships which reduced the export and import of the country as there weren't enough ships left.

This created a problem for farmers as well and as a result, the economy went into the worst state. The economy was in debt and the common public was immensely suffering from poverty. The war created a poor relation between both countries and at the end people suffered.

Answer 2

D. There weren't enough ships to send US goods to other countries.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the war, the British Navy gained control of the high seas and ruined a great number of the American ships. This resulted in the disruption of the flow of trade. After the war, the exports to Britain were controlled because the British law did not allow trade with its Caribbean sugar colonies. The situation was worsened because there were an overflowing supply of British goods that are much more affordable than the local products that added to the economic crisis.
