Answer:

Why was what a problem with him???

Explanation:

Many of his most famous works were banned.

Since his writing denigrated everything from organized religion to the justice system, Voltaire ran up against frequent censorship from the French government. A good portion of his work was suppressed, and the authorities even ordered certain books to be burned by the state executioner. To combat the censors, Voltaire had much of his output printed abroad, and he published under a veil of assumed names and pseudonyms. His famous novella “Candide” was originally attributed to a “Dr. Ralph,” and he actively tried to distance himself from it for several years after both the government and the church condemned it. Despite his best attempts to remain anonymous, Voltaire lived in almost constant fear of arrest. He was forced to flee to the French countryside after his “Letters Concerning the English Nation” was released in 1734, and he went on to spend the majority of his later life in unofficial exile in Switzerland.

Why did american farmers prefer to sell to the british?

max2010maxim [7]

The British, unlike the Colonists, paid with gold coins, instead of bills, as was customary in the colonies. The American colonists used both the English, Spanish and French coins during the time they were British Colony, but when the War of Independence was about to begin, the Continental Congress financed the coming war, creating the new money American, called Continental Currency. The problem came later, when the devaluation of this currency was so great, that it became synonymous with "lack of value".
