Answer:

Whiskey Rebellion

Step-by-step explanation:

Washington’s new government encouraged Congress to pass taxes on liquor to help pay the states’ debt from the Revolutionary War. The tax hit the small whiskey-makers in western settlements particularly hard because they made liquor using excess crops of grain in order to make it easier to transport. They even used whiskey as a medium of exchange.
