Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The events related to the Lost State of Franklin and Shays' Rebellion similar in that both events stemmed from the idea of demanding better conditions for the people that participated in the events, after the Revolutionary War of Independence.

The Lost State of Franklin was formed in 1784 as an offering by North Carolina to the national government in order to pay the many debts that resulted from the American Revolutionary War. This state of Franklin was never recognized by the Union and was formed by the territories of modern-day East Tennessee.

Shay's Rebellion was led by Daniel Shay, a former soldier that participated in the Revolutionary War. He led a group of men in Boston, Massachusetts to start a series of attacks on important public buildings and courts in 1786 and 1787. Farmers had many debts, private businesses were demanding them to pay for the goods they had bought, but the economic conditions of the farmers were of poverty and the central government did not attend to their demands.
