It was also connected to the Whiskey Rebellion. The Whiskey Rebellion or Whiskey Insurrection, was a tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791, during the presidency of George Washington. Farmers who sold their grain in the form of whiskey had to pay a new tax which they strongly resented. The tax was a part of a treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton's program to pay off national debt.
