The Whiskey Rebellion was an uprising during George Washington's presidency that occurred in southwestern Pennsylvania. In order to pay for the national debt, the government decided to tax whiskey. This infuriated citizens, especially farmers and settlers in western Pennsylvania (for it was a staple beverage) and throughout the states, federal tax collectors were harassed by "Whiskey Boys".
