Answer:
United States President George Washington's foreign policy was based on avoiding both foreign strife and entangling alliances, while his domestic policies displayed little tolerance for anti-taxation protests. In 1791, the U.S. Congress passed the first internal revenue law, which placed a tax on distilled spirits and led to a 1794 armed rebellion by Pennsylvania farmers that became known as the "Whiskey Rebellion." Washington raised a militia force of more than 12,000 militiamen and personally led the troops into Pennsylvania to end the rebellion, an accomplishment achieved with a remarkably small loss of life.
