In 1786 Captain Daniel Shay led a series of attacks on courthouses to block foreclosures on farms.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Shay’s rebellion was led by soldiers who fought in the Revolutionary war and later became farmers. They received very little compensation after the war and suffered several hardships.
When businesses in Boston demanded immediate cash payment the farmers who usually bought on credit had to suffer. Circulation of paper currency was also limited.
The farmers didn’t have gold or silver to settle their debts. Above all that the rate of tax in Massachusetts was very high. All these factors made farmers suffer hardships.
When peaceful measures to get their problems solved by authorities failed, the people took to rebellion. Shay’s rebellion emerged at that period.
The Renaissance began in Italy partly because "Italian city-states were wealthy." It should be noted, however, that it was also because Italy was already somewhat of a cultural capital in the region.
