Whiskey Rebellion Conflict over government’s tax on whiskey –Whiskey very popular among farmers –Made more from whiskey than from rye –Farmers used whiskey for $$ Summer of 1794 farmers attacked tax collectors to protest the tax on whiskey 13,000 soldiers sent to put down the uprising

7. Why were the farmers angry about the whiskey tax?  They were angry because they used the whiskey to trade, and did not have the money to buy goods in many cases, let alone pay taxes.

Whiskey Rebellion “Such resistance is treason against society, against liberty, against everything that ought to be dear to a free, enlightened, and prudent people. To tolerate it were to abandon your most precious interests. Not to subdue it were to tolerate it.” –Alexander Hamilton

8. Why did Washington decide to crush the rebellion and enforce the tax?  He feared that not to act was to undermine the new government and weaken it’s authority.

3. Why was Washington’s treatment of the Whiskey Rebellion important? He had shown that the government had the power and the will to enforce its laws.

The French Rebellion Inspired by the Americans, French revolutionaries demanded liberty and equality By 1792 revolution became very violent

The French Rebellion 1793 – King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette executed France then declared war on Britain, Holland, and Spain This puts the US in an awkward position –WHY????

What to do????? France had been ally of US during revolution Britain was United States’ most important trading partner Washington decided US would remain… NEUTRAL

9. Why did the war between France and Britain put the United States in a difficult position?  France had been our ally in the American Revolution, but Britain was our biggest trading partner.

10. How did Jefferson, Hamilton, and Washington think the United States should react to the War? Jefferson – Felt that a move to crush the revolution was an attack on liberty everywhere.

Remaining Neutral Chief Justice John Jay goes to England to work this out Jay’s Treaty –called for British to pay damages to ships –British agreed to leave Ohio Valley –Jay’s Treaty unpopular because it failed to open West Indies trade to Americans
