who did poor farmers fear and hate during this time period?

• the artisans who wanted to be able to borrow money, buy land and get an education.

• the rich that lived off of the hard - working men like poor farmers.
• the other poor farmers who competed for land to farm.

Explanation:

First Question (Artisans and Central Government):

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Talks about state governments, not central, so irrelevant.
• Option 2: A strong central government could impose tariffs (taxes) on English goods, making them pricier. This would encourage people to buy cheaper American - made goods, which aligns with how artisans thought a strong central government would protect American - made goods.
• Option 3: The idea about African Americans' freedom and white farmers' revolt is not related to protecting American - made goods.
• Option 4: Taxing American - made goods would make them more expensive, which is the opposite of protecting them.

We evaluate each option:

• Option 1: Artisans' goals (borrow money, buy land, get education) don't directly relate to what poor farmers would fear/hate.
• Option 2: Enslaved African - Americans were not the group poor farmers feared/hated in the context of economic exploitation of poor farmers.
• Option 3: The rich who lived off the hard work of poor farmers (exploiting them) is a common reason for poor farmers to fear and hate the rich, as the rich would benefit from the farmers' labor without sharing fairly.
• Option 4: Other poor farmers competing for land is less likely as a primary fear/hate compared to exploitation by the rich.

Answer:

B. Taxing English goods resulting in high prices on English products so more people would buy American goods.
