shays rebellion was significant because it:
a was the only internal rebellion in u.s. history.
b convinced many conservatives that a stronger central government was necessary
c destroyed the power of the \cosmopolitan\ group in massachusetts politics.
d led to state laws exempting farmland from foreclosure.

Explanation:

Shays' Rebellion in 1786 - 1787 highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. The inability of the central government to effectively deal with the rebellion convinced many conservatives that a stronger central government was needed to maintain order and stability. It was not the only internal rebellion in U.S. history. It did not directly destroy the power of a particular group in Massachusetts politics or lead to state - laws exempting farmland from foreclosure as its main significance.

Answer:

B. convinced many conservatives that a stronger central government was necessary
