Rye became the barter basis of the western Pennsylvania and Maryland economies, so much so that when the newly established Federal government decided to pay off the states' war debts with an excise tax of distilling they set the western region aflame with rebellion; the Whiskey Rebellion.
Rye whiskey was known to them as karn, a grain spirit of the steppes of Kiev, the Don region, Poland, and the eastern German states.
Unlike bourbon, rye whiskey is made from a small amount of corn and at least 51% rye.

 American Whiskey
In the late 18th Century, American farmers who distilled whiskey rose up against the federal government in the new nation's first large-scale protest, the Whiskey Rebellion.
While Tennessee whiskey is very similar to bourbon, the Tennessee whiskey must undergo the "Lincoln County Process," which requires the whiskey to be filtered through approximately 10 feet of maple charcoal.
The other major American whiskey type is the distinctive Tennessee whiskey (which must be made in Tennessee).

Whiskey Rebellion, a band formed around many of the same principles that the early frontiersmen adopted, is an aggressive force to be reckoned with.
As with any good whiskey, this band chooses not to "water down" their music, they instead approach it with a return to roots, and with the attitude of the people who made their voices heard in the original "Whiskey Rebellion" by the early Americans in 1791.
Whiskey Rebellion's original songs have been heard on such radio stations such as Milwaukee Lazer 103 (recently renamed to “the Hog”), Razor 94.7, Wausau's ZRock 104.1, Madison’s 94.1 WJJO, and MSOE's 91.7 WMSE.

After debating this choice, students consider the political climate of the times, as reflected in the message Washington delivered to Congress upon his return from the frontier, and consider how far Washington's actions in the Whiskey Rebellion crisis were motivated by politics rather than principle.
Finally, students return to the central issue raised by the Whiskey Rebellion to compare Washington's decision with the those of later presidents who faced this same question of constitutional authority: When is the federal government justified in using force against American citizens?

 SparkNotes: Building the State (1781-1797): Increasing Tensions and The Whiskey Rebellion
The Whiskey Rebellion was the public embodiment of the political opposition to Federalism as exercised by Washington and Hamilton.
The Whiskey Rebellion arose partly because the farmers felt that the tax had been imposed, and was enforced, by men who knew nothing of their situation and needs.
The whiskey tax was reduced and trials for tax evasion became the jurisdiction of federal courts as a result of the public outcry, even before full-fledged rebellion began.

 Fries's Rebellion Newman, Paul Douglas
Following the Shays and Whiskey rebellions, Fries's Rebellion was the last in a trilogy of popular uprisings against federal authority in the early republic.
Fries's Rebellion was the third in three popular uprisings immediately following the Revolution--after Shays's Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion--that directly challenged the still-fledgling federal government.
The first book-length treatment of this significant eighteenth-century uprising, Fries's Rebellion shows us that the participants of the rebellion reengaged Revolutionary ideals in an enduring struggle to further democratize their country.

 Whiskey Rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Whiskey Rebellion was an uprising that had its origins in 1791 and culminated in an insurrection in 1794 in the Monongahela Valley in western Pennsylvania by Appalachian settlers who fought against a federal tax on liquor and distilled drinks.
The suppression of the Whiskey Rebellion also had the unintended consequences of encouraging small whiskey producers and other settlers to relocate to the then-frontier lands of Kentucky and Tennessee, which were outside the sphere of Federal control for many years.
As word of the rebellion spread across the frontier, a whole series of loosely organized resistance measures were taken, including robbing the mail, stopping court proceedings, and threatening an assault on Pittsburgh; one group, disguised as women, assaulted a tax collector, cropped his hair, coated him with tar and feathers, and stole his horse.
