The Whiskey Rebellion was a tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791, during the presidency of George Washington. Farmers who used their leftover grain and corn in the form of whiskey as a medium of exchange were forced to pay a new tax. George Washington organized an army of 13,000 and marched to western Pennsylvania to end the rebellion. The farmers parted and Washington, by his actions, showed when a tax was forced through legislative action, it had to be paid.

In 1792, Washington gave command of the army in the West to General Anthony Wayne. His task was to bring troops to the frontier to fight against the Indians. In 1793, General Wayne arrived in Ohio and many of his men where ill from small pox. In 1794, Native American groups attacked a supply train near the fort. Wayne and his men responded. They attacked Native American towns and burned crops.

People in the western area were selfish about the tax. The farmers corn crops were often made into whiskey, which was easier to transport than corn. Whiskey became like money because cash was so rare. Farmers believed that they should be able to keep the money they created themselves.

Edmond Genet asked American sailors to help France fight England by commanding privateers. Washington told Genet that using American privateers violated U.S. neutrality. Jefferson wanted the French revolutionaries to succeed. Hamilton was pro-British. He hoped to strengthen trading ties with Britain. Jefferson then decided to resign from Washington's cabinet in 1793.

Native Americans fought Wayne's troops in the Battle of Fallen Timbers and were beat. The battle was named for an area where a lot of trees had been destroyed by a tornado. The strength of Indian forces in the region was broken. In 1795, Native American leaders signed the Treaty of Greenville, which gave the United States claim to most Indian lands in the Northwest Territory. In exchange, Native Americans got $20,000 worth of goods and more.
