Social unrest is rebellion. Rebellion does not come from the trucking system. The trucking system does not lead to anarchy, other things unrelated to the trucking system can lead to anarchy and rebellion.
Farmers who produced small amounts of whiskey for trade argued they could not afford the tax. By 1794 fighting had broken out. Farmers lashed out on the whiskey tax. Protestors refused to pay the tax. Some called themselves the "new sons of Liberty"
George Washington's response to the Whiskey Rebellion was to send peace commissioners to negotiate terms with the ones who were rebelling. He also sent militia in case it was necessary, but it turned out that they were not needed. This action by Washington showed the nation that the government had the ability to suppress insurrection. This finally lead to the formation of political parties.
