Several Native American tribes sided with the British because the British opposed expansion West of the Alleghenies.
The British developed allies among many Native American tribes by promising that they would outlaw settlements West of the Alleghenies. They also had support among the Loyalists: Americans who remained loyal to the Crown. Plus, there were German Hessian mercenaries.
New Orleans was and is the largest and most accessible seaport on the Gulf coast, and is also the terminus of the Missouri-Ohio-Mississippi River system. It was the best place for American farmers west of the Alleghenies to take their surplus produce for export to other American seaports and the rest of the world.
The Whiskey Rebellion 1794 was an uprising in the Pennsylvania counties West of the Alleghenies, caused by Alexander Hamilton 's excise tax of 1791. The settlers, mainly Scotch-Irish, for whom whiskey was an important economic commodity, resented the tax as discriminatory and detrimental to their liberty and economic welfare. There were many public protests, and rioting broke out in 1794 against the central government's efforts to enforce the law. Troops called out by President Washington quelled the rioting, and resistance evaporated. Nevertheless Hamilton sought to make an example of the settlers and illustrate the newly created government's power to enforce its law; many were arrested. President Washington pardoned the two rebels who were convicted of treason. The tax was repealed in 1802.
The Proclamation of 1763 forbade settlement beyond the Alleghenies.
National Cemetery of the Alleghenies was created in 2005.
