Episode 83 of The History of the United States takes us to 1794—the Whiskey Rebellion, when frontier farmers in western Pennsylvania took up arms against a federal tax on distilled spirits. Lucas and Luna explore the roots of the uprising: Alexander Hamilton's financial plan, the excise tax of 1791, and the burden it placed on small producers who turned grain into whiskey for trade. They discuss the rebellion's key figures—tax collector John Neville, rebel leader David Bradford, and President George Washington—as well as the federal response: the largest army ever assembled by the young republic, 13,000 militiamen marching into Pennsylvania. The conversation examines the rebellion's aftermath, including the trials for treason and the pardons that followed, and what it revealed about federal power versus local autonomy. Listen for details on the Battle of Bower Hill, the destruction of Neville's home, and the symbolic significance of Washington personally leading troops. A thoughtful look at how a whiskey tax tested the Constitution's limits. #WhiskeyRebellion #AlexanderHamilton #GeorgeWashington #ExciseTax #FederalAuthority #BattleOfBowerHill #DavidBradford #JohnNeville #1794 #Pennsylvania #Frontier #TaxProtest #HenryLee #Militia #Treason #AmericanHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
