Final answer:
Daniel Shays was not a fan of the Articles of Confederation; this is the false statement among the options provided. Shays did fight in the Revolutionary War, never got paid for his military service, and led nearly 1,200 protestors in what became known as Shays' Rebellion.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement about Daniel Shays that is NOT true is that Shays was a fan of the Articles of Confederation. Daniel Shays was a Captain in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War and was indeed one of the leaders of nearly 1,200 protestors in what became known as Shays' Rebellion. This insurrection was a protest against the economic distress and political policies that left farmers in debt and without proper compensation, which implied discontent with the existing government structure under the Articles of Confederation. Shays did serve in the Revolutionary War, and like many veterans of the war, he was impacted by the government's inability to pay its debts, leading to him not receiving compensation for his military service. Therefore, options b, c, and d are true statements, rendering option a as the incorrect statement.
