The Whiskey Rebellion Peyton Smith
What it is? The Whiskey Rebellionwas a tax protest in the United States in the 1790s, during the presidency of George Washington. The farmers who sold their corn in the form of whiskey had to pay a new tax which they strongly resented. It was also a part of treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton’s program to pay off the national debt.
How it was possible? The events  that led up to the Whiskey Rebellion began when Alexander Hamilton put together an agreement between the states and the federal government that said the federalists would assume all the debts incurred by the states after the Revolutionary War. The states in return, agreed that the nation's capital city would be moved south from Philadelphia to a piece of backwoods, mosquito-infested swampland located on the banks of the Potomac River between Virginia and Maryland. Thenlike all good taxes a whiskey tax was bound to hurt some more than others, and in this case it was bound to hurt those in the west most of all.
Importance of the rebellion? It can be seen as a struggle between the government trying to enforce tax and law, and the people trying to exercise their freedoms.
