One of my ancestors apparently died during the "irregularities" in Western Penn.
Apparently the whiskey tax was repealed within a few years - though GW got his Federal licks in in the interim.

Wow, I hate Pittsburgh.
I thought I would never, ever go back there again.
Now I am having second thoughts.

Putting a fancy wrapper around fresh moonshine and calling it something special.
Oh, folks will have something special...the next morning when they first awaken.
Splitting headache.

“This guy, Philip Wigle, was almost hung here 200 years ago because he wanted to make a little whiskey,” said Eric Meyer......
My understanding is that there was no feasible way for the W. Pa. farmers to ship their corn to market across the Alleghenies in bulk, so they turned it into whiskey for shipment. The rebels objected to what they rightly perceived as unequal taxation. They were being forced to bear the brunt of the nation’s debt.
