How did Washington and Hamilton see the Whiskey Rebellion? Describe the government’s response to the Whiskey Rebellion. Also explain whether you think the government acted appropriately.

Hamilton and Washington saw the Whiskey Rebellion as a major test of their government.

In my opinion, I do not think the government acted appropriately because they lost the support of the people. It was a bit harsh on the masses and the government should have listened to the complaints of the farmers and come to an agreement.

Explanation:

The United States suffered from significant debt that was incurred in 1979 during the Revolutionary War. Hamilton, a secretary supporting increased federal authority wanted to use the excise whiskey tax as a way to reduce this financial burden. A legislation was passed but however, residents saw this tax as a means of imposing unfair policies dictated by the elites to negatively affected American citizens.

The western farmers felt the tax was an abuse of power of the federal authority wrongly focusing on a demographic.

President Washington sought to resolve the issue in 1792, however violence increased in 1794, 400 whiskey rebels near Pittsburgh set fire to the home of John Neville who was regional tax collection supervisor at that time. This led to Hamilton urging Washington to lead a militia force of 12,950 men and led them towards Western Pennsylvania, warning locals help the Insurgents as they were going to answer the contrary at their hazard. The rebels had dispersed by the time the militia reached Pittsburgh. Nonetheless 150 men were caught and apprehended for treason. 2 men were found guilty and later pardoned by President Washington.
