In response to the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794, President George Washington took decisive action by leading a federal militia of about 13,000 troops to quell the insurrection in Western Pennsylvania. This show of force demonstrated the federal government's resolve to enforce its laws and maintain order. Washington's response emphasized the importance of Law and Order in the new nation and set a precedent for federal authority over state and local challenges. Ultimately, the rebellion was suppressed without significant bloodshed, reinforcing the power of the federal government.
