The whiskey rebellion was the beginning of the Revolutionary War. The whiskey rebellion was started when the British government began taxing alcohol sales. After the Revolutionary War, the new United States government began taxing Alcoholic Beverages as a luxury tax to pay for the extra amount of troops that fought in the war.
