The Whiskey Rebellion and the Impact of the Whiskey Tax

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 the unique circumstances of the period as well as some laws that were not very well thought out.

The rebellion and its subsequent response were seen as a threat to the very existence of the new country.
