The tax was lead to the Whiskey Rebellion because at first in the people in the West were bitter from tax. They were already angry at the federal government, which they believed did not protect settlers from Native American attacks and did not allow settlers enough opportunity for trade.

Farmers who produced small amounts of whiskey for trade argued that they could not afford the tax. They believed that they should be able to keep the money they made from a product they created themselves.
