The Whiskey Rebellion is mostly just an AP US history question these days. At the time, it was almost another American revolution, or even the first American Civil War, between east and west instead of north and south.


History Brady Crytzer walks me through the Whiskey Rebellion, why it happened, and why it was about the questions of federal power, taxation, and sovereignty that are still dividing Americans.
