Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

They both are about groups of people standing up. But the one about whiskey has to do with one law and shays was just fed up with the leaders in Massachusetts. Both groups were protesting about taxes and were farmers. ... And the other is about having to pay taxes for whiskey, but they refused to pay taxes for the whiskey.
