The taxes on whiskey led to the Whiskey Rebellion, primarily in the western regions of Pennsylvania. Farmers in this area, who often distilled their surplus grain into whiskey, opposed the federal excise tax imposed in 1791. The rebellion highlighted tensions between rural and urban interests and the challenges of enforcing federal authority in the newly formed United States. Ultimately, it was quelled by a show of federal force in 1794.

Overall, taxation was a common practice, albeit often contentious.
