The Whiskey Rebellion was a reaction to a new government tax on spirits. After harvest, farmers would distill excess corn that they harvested into whiskey instead of letting it rot. Farmers vehemently opposed this government intervention in their livelihood.

Tidewater planters were wealthy, slave-owning farmers who cultivated cash crops like tobacco and rice on large plantations near coastal areas, while backcountry farmers were typically poorer, subsistence farmers who lived inland and grew crops for their own consumption. Tidewater planters had closer economic ties to England and were more influenced by British culture, while backcountry farmers tended to be more self-sufficient and resistant to outside influences. Socially, tidewater planters were part of the Southern aristocracy, while backcountry farmers were more egalitarian and independent.
Planters were well to do people and farmers were poor class

Tidewater planters were wealthy, relied on enslaved labor, and cultivated cash crops like tobacco and rice in the coastal regions. Backcountry farmers were more self-sufficient, lived in the inland areas, and grew crops for subsistence rather than for trade. They often had smaller farms and a more independent lifestyle compared to the planters.
90% of the colonies were farmers.
