The Whiskey Tax: A Clash of Federal Authority and Frontier Resistance

In the late 18th century, the newly independent United States of America faced its first major domestic crisis. 

Settlers in its westernmost regions rose up in open armed rebellion against the government. The cause of the rebellion had to do with taxes, which was the very thing that the American Revolution was about in the first place.

The rebellion was seen by some as a threat to the very existence of the new country.
