The Whiskey Rebellion was influenced by several factors, notably the imposition of the 1791 excise tax on distilled spirits, which was part of Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton's plan to centralize and stabilize the nation's finances. This tax disproportionately affected farmers in the western frontier regions, who relied on whiskey production as both a source of income and a medium of trade. Additionally, the economic struggles and resentment against federal authority in the post-Revolutionary War period contributed to the uprising, as many viewed the tax as an unjust burden imposed by a distant government.
