Answer:

The Whiskey Rebellion

Step-by-step explanation:

The whiskey rebellion was a protest that started in 1791 and it went on for about three years. Protests were frequent and impacted the country to a point that caused the federal government to use military force to enforce the tax. Eventually, another president was elected and the tax was removed.
