The Whiskey Rebellion
Pennsylvania farmers put America's newly formed democracy to the test in The Whiskey Rebellion. One of the first major trials for the young United States began when treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton's tax on the making of whiskey sparked a violent insurrection by settlers on Pennsylvania's western frontier. The Whiskey Rebellion weaves together reenactments, interviews with experts and historical documents to bring this tale to life.
