What Rebelled during the Whiskey Rebellion and what was the outcome?
When George Washington became president, new taxes were created. America was a fairly tax-aphobic country at the time. Farmers in Central Pennsylvania to Pittsburg grew corn. It was expensive to transport corn: it grew moldy or was crushed. Instead, the farmers began making whiskey from their large corn crops to save money. However, once the presidency began, tax was passed on whiskey, which meant it wasn't much better to make whiskey than corn. The farmers near Pittsburg were upset by this an rebeled. They ran to Pittsburg, burned some buildings and had a good old time tarring and feathering a tax collecter. Washington responded quickly: he dispatched a few troops toward Pittsburg. As soon as they heard he was coming, the rebels fled. Alexander Hamilton wanted to punish the rebels more heavily, even execute some, but Washington refused saying they had displayed their strength and now it was time to show they could have mercy.
Did George Washington have any difficult obsticles in hi life?
George Washington had a few obstacles in his presidency that he had to overcome, including the Whiskey Rebellion. Alexander Hamilton, who was also the founder of the Federalist Party, convinced the president to place a tax on some objects, and one of them was whiskey. Since the people made more money when they made their corn into whiskey, they objected. They compared the whiskey tax to the hated taxes Britain had enforced on them (such as the Intolerable Acts). When a tax collecter came to collect the tax, farmers rebelled, burning down his house. When George Washington heard of this, he sent the militia. In his opinion, violence would not be tolerated in a republic. When the farmers heard that 13,000 troops were marching against them, they quickly dispersed.He had to face things like pirate attacking the trade and The United states only have a small army and have no navy
