Whiskey Rebellion

Thesis

This rebellion was the

first major event in George

Washington's presidency.

Congress passed a law to put a

tax on whiskey and other alcohols.

People in Pennsylvania got

angry with the tax and it

spread to other states too.

The U.S. government under the Articles of the Confederation had no militia to put down the rebellion.

The Shay's Rebellion showed problems with The United States Government that were fixed with The Constitution by the time The Whiskey Rebellion occurred.
