The whiskey rebellion occurred twice in early US history. The first occurrence was a tax that Britain used to charge the colonies for Alcoholic Beverages. The second time the whiskey rebellion occurred before prohibition was when the new colonies began charging a luxury tax to distilled spirits to pay for the revolutionary war.

How did Washington respond to the wiskey rebellion?

George Washington responded to the Whiskey Rebellion by taking decisive action to assert federal authority. In 1794, he mobilized a militia of about 13,000 troops to march into western Pennsylvania, demonstrating the government's commitment to enforcing tax laws. This show of force effectively quelled the rebellion without significant violence, highlighting the strength of the new federal government and its ability to maintain order. Washington's response reinforced the principle that armed resistance to federal law would not be tolerated.
