US History Of Defiance T-Shirt - Whiskey Rebellion Flag

4" wide - WHISKEY REBELLION Flag printed on Left Chest

"Farmers, especially in Pennsylvania, objected to the federal whiskey tax of 1791. Federal troops had to be sent in by President Washington before the farmers who flaunted this flag agreed to pay the tax. They preferred selling their crops of corn and rye as whiskey because prices were higher and liquor was easier to transport than grain."

The Whiskey Rebellion demonstrated that the new national government had the will and ability to suppress violent resistance to its laws, though the whiskey excise remained difficult to collect. The events contributed to the formation of political parties in the United States, a process already under way. The whiskey tax was repealed in 1802 during the Jefferson administration.
