Whisky Rebellion (1794) A rising of farmers in western Pennsylvania, USA, in protest at Secretary of the Treasury Alexander HAMILTON's excise tax of 1791. The frontiersmen who made whisky considered the tax discriminatory. President George WASHINGTON called out 15,000 troops to quell the rioting, proving the federal government's power to enforce the country's laws and earning the frontiersmen's hatred of the FEDERALISTS' policies.
