The Whiskey Rebellion: Frontier Epilogue to the American Revolution
PENNA E315 .S59 1986

When President George Washington ordered an army of 13,000 men to march west in 1794 to crush a tax rebellion among frontier farmers, he established a range of precedents that continues to define federal authority over localities today. The book offers a broad and comprehensive account of the Whiskey Rebellion that takes into account the political, social and intellectual contexts of the time, but also challenges conventional understandings of the Revolutionary era.
