What other options if any might Washington have chosen besides the whiskey tax and what have the farmers have chosen?
Instead of the whiskey tax, Washington could have considered implementing a sales tax or increasing tariffs on imported goods to raise revenue. Farmers, particularly those in frontier regions, might have preferred a more equitable approach, such as a tax on larger landholdings or corporate profits, rather than a direct tax on their whiskey production, which they relied on for income and trade. This alternative could have fostered better relations between the federal government and rural communities.
