Answer 1

Participants in Daniel Shays' Rebellion were upset because of high taxes, insufficient cash money, unfair taxation, and debt. The rebellion led by Daniel Shays was a response to these issues faced by farmers in western Massachusetts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Participants in Daniel Shays' Rebellion were upset because:

1. Farm goods were not accepted as payment for debts and taxes.
2. Taxes and the fees charged by lawyers and the courts were too high.
3. State government officials were being paid fattened salaries.

The rebellion was led by Daniel Shays, a Revolutionary War veteran, and was a response to the high taxes, crushing debt, and widespread foreclosures that farmers in western Massachusetts were facing. The farmers drafted a list of grievances, including the treatment of the poor compared to the wealthy, lack of cash money, and unfair taxation between classes. The rebellion was ultimately crushed by the Massachusetts state government with the help of bankers and merchants.
