Question

the whiskey rebellion
congress placed a tax on whiskey to help raise revenue. this hurt farmers, especially in rural pennsylvania, who were already upset because they felt the government didn’t protect them against natives and didn’t allow enough opportunities for trade. this tax was a burden on them.
at first they protested peacefully, but in 1794 blank broke out in the whiskey rebellion as farmers lashed out against the tax in many states.
washington felt the people needed to understand that the constitution gave the government the power to tax. he led an army against the rebellion, forcing the rebels to flee without a fight, and asserting the blank of the federal government to maintain order.
