Explain how phoenicians spread ideas among different peoples in the ancient middle east?

Instead of a farming based culture, the Phoenician people had a manufacturing and trade based on economy which spread their culture to everyone they sold or traded to. As they traveled across the land they brought other cultures with them as well as their own. 

Cuz tradinga no stuff like that

 Shay's rebellion was important to highlight the problems with the Articles of Confederation because it showed the people and government how terrible the Articles couldn't handle a crisis. 

 Many of the poorer people had to take large loans to keep their farms functioning while they were off fighting in the revolution. When the war ended, they had no money to pay the creditors back, who began pressing for the money. 

I hope this helps.
