Question

Why is using military force the best choice of action? (whiskey rebellion)

Answer 1

The Whiskey Rebellion was a 1794 uprising of farmers and distillers in western Pennsylvania in protest of a whiskey tax enacted by the federal government. Following years of aggression with tax collectors, the region finally exploded in a confrontation that resulted in President Washington sending in troops to quell what some feared could become a full-blown revolution. Opposition to the whiskey tax and the rebellion itself built support for the Republicans, who overtook Washington’s Federalist Party for power in 1802. The Whiskey Rebellion is considered one of the first major tests of the authority of the newly formed U.S. government.

Answer 2

The military force was the best option because, the whiskey rebellion was destroying to many things and hurting the US to badly. So, they had to take it out quickly. However, it also, shows that the US military force wasn't weak and was pretty strong and, that made rebellions less encouraged and made other countries give the US a little bit more respect.
