Answer 2

The Whiskey RebellionAfter the war, in precisely 1791, the people in charge found out that they were horribly in debt. So Alexander Hamilton bugged and bugged George Washington to make a tax on distilled drinks and spirits, such as whiskey. He justified it as "more as a measure of social discipline than as a source of revenue." Well, George said yes...and everyone from Pennsylvania to Georgia did NOT agree! They held protest meetings incessantly; they considered it unfair and discriminatory. After all, they had made the whiskey from their OWN grain. By 1794, tension was mounting and Washington decided to create some order. So he sent a militia of 12, 700 to fight them of (though no one was hurt.) Finally, peace was established in 1797 when the following were charged for disrupting the peace: Nicholas Kobe, Adam Bower, Abraham Cable Jr, Dr. John Kimmell, Henry Foist, Jacob Holy, Adam Holy, Michael Chintz, George Swart, and Adam Stahl of John Heminger, John Armstrong, George Weimer, George Tedrow, Abraham Miller, John Miller Jr, Benjamin Brown, and Peter Bower ; Emanuel Brallier, and George Ankeny, of Quemahoning township; Peter Augustine, James Conner, Henry Everly, Daniel McCartey, William Pinkerton, and Jonathan Woodsides of Turkeyfoot township.They had to pay fifteen shillings each.

Answer 5

After the revolutionary war, New colonial america had a $20,000,000 war debt to pay off. In government, their are two ways to make money to pay off debt: Tax or cut spending. At the time, everyone in america drank alcohol on a daily basis. So the federal government put a tax on all alcholic products. U.S citizens thought they had escaped taxes when they seperated from Great Britain. Nobody was more angry then citizens of upstate New York around Rochester. At the time, they were the main producers of alchol. All alcoholic producers in that area refused to make alcohol and pay the tax with a rebellion. In fear of a large rebellion, George Washington quickly led our US Army to stop the rebellion which was quickly put down with no fighting.
