To tax whiskey
Whiskey Rebellion
The federal whiskey tax produced the whiskey rebellion.
The Whiskey Rebellion ended differently than Shays' Rebellion primarily due to the response from the federal government. In 1794, President George Washington led a militia to suppress the Whiskey Rebellion in Pennsylvania, demonstrating the federal government's ability and willingness to enforce its laws. In contrast, Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787 was largely met with state-level resistance, and the lack of a strong federal response highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation. Ultimately, the resolution of the Whiskey Rebellion reinforced federal authority, while Shays' Rebellion spurred calls for a stronger national government, leading to the Constitutional Convention.
The Whiskey Rebellion was a rebellion of farmers from Pennsylvania to Georgia. It was in response to the tax put on whiskey. The farmers were upset because they thought the whiskey was an important good. So, they rebelled against the tax. George Washington sent an army down to calm the rebellion.
