Whiskey Rebellion (1 gen 1791 anni – 31 dic 1794 anni)
Descrizione:
The Whiskey Rebellion was an uprising by farmers in western Pennsylvania in response to a federal excise tax on whiskey, which they viewed as unfairly targeted and economically burdensome. President George Washington responded decisively by federalizing a militia and leading it into Pennsylvania to quell the rebellion, demonstrating the new government's willingness and ability to enforce its laws, thereby establishing a precedent for federal authority.Aggiunto al nastro di tempo:
