Simple. The chief crop was corn. It was difficult to transport anything by wagon over the Indian footpaths along mountain ridges. It was cheapest to make whiskey from corn and more profitable to transport it over the mountains to the east. Whiskey stills were prominent businesses, just as important as the blacksmith, saddler, and undertaker. When the government wanted to tax whiskey, it would have deeply cut into farmers' profits. The Whiskey Rebellion was a major fight against taxation.

The Whiskey Rebellion occurred under the new Constitution of the US. Western PA farmers refused to pay the tax that was enacted on whiskey by the new federal government.
