The rebellion in 1786 and 1787 was stopped by Massachusetts militia and troops assembled by Massachusetts governor James Bowdoin, led by General Benjamin Lincoln.

The federal government had no money to hire troops, a weakness of the Articles of Confederation that was among the many reasons for the drafting of the US Constitution. Because some ringleaders went into hiding in the Republic of Vermont, the rebellion added impetus to extend federal law there, and Vermont became a state in 1791.

How did the whiskey rebellion end differently than shays rebellion?

The Whiskey Rebellion ended differently than Shays' Rebellion primarily due to the response from the federal government. In 1794, President George Washington led a militia to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion in Pennsylvania, demonstrating the federal government's ability and willingness to enforce its laws. In contrast, Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787 was largely met with state-level resistance, and the lack of a strong federal response highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. Ultimately, the resolution of the Whiskey Rebellion reinforced federal authority, while Shays' Rebellion spurred calls for a stronger national government, leading to the Constitutional Convention.

I think they wanted a more powerful government Maybe they also wanted a more powerful economy As far as I know Shays Rebellion just showed that the government under the articles of confederation was powerless because it gave states the power not the over all government. As a result of a powerless government, federal troops had trouble controlling the rebellion. Today we have the constitution which the federal government for power then the state government.
