Grant, the Whiskey Ring scandal emerged as a significant example of corruption, where government officials and distillers conspired to defraud the federal government of tax revenues from liquor. This scheme involved the diversion of millions of dollars in whiskey tax revenues, with officials accepting bribes to help distillers evade taxes.
