2.  Whiskey Rebellion was a tax protest in the United
States beginning in 1791, during the presidency of
George Washington.
 The tax was a part of treasury secretary Alexander
Hamilton’s program to pay off the national debt.

3.  The people were getting taxed and didn't have a say in
the process, unlike the Whiskey Rebellion where they
had a Representative government in place.
Washington sent the militia, not the regular army and
he also pardon the perpetrators after their arrest and
the rebellion was quelled.
 Over the next three years dozens of tax collectors were
beaten, shot at, tarred and
feathered, terrorized, intimidated, and humiliated.
The home and plantation of John Neville, the chief tax
southwestern Pennsylvania, were burned to the
ground.

4.  The Whiskey Rebellion happened almost immediately
after the Revolution.
 We had just fought to free ourselves from taxation
without representation, and then the new American
government turns around and starts taxing a product
that many people used as currency.
