Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton believed this was a good way to raise revenue to pay off bonds and war debts. He applied a tax on whiskey in 1789. This led to widespread anger and protests that eventually led to a tax man being tarred and feathered in what came to be called the Whiskey Rebellion.
