Just a few years after the Constitution was ratified, the United States faced a crisis that threatened to tear the young nation apart. A federal tax on whiskey, meant to help pay off Revolutionary War debt, hit frontier farmers especially hard. For many, whiskey wasn’t a luxury. It was currency, livelihood, and survival. When tax collectors arrived, resistance turned into open defiance.
In this video, we explore how protests in western Pennsylvania escalated into a catastrophe and how President George Washington responded by personally leading troops to enforce federal law, and why the Whiskey Rebellion became a defining moment for the new government. The conflict tested whether the United States would be ruled by laws or by local uprisings, and the outcome sent a clear message about federal authority.
This is the story of how a fight over whiskey helped shape the power of the American government.
