George Washington was a southern slave-owner who rebelled against his country... Why don’t you ever acknowledge that? Comparing the Whiskey Rebellion and the secession of the South by way of political agreements is so ridiculous it is not worthy of retort.
Rather, Washington was called by his country to protect it from a foreign invader. England had no right to invade the colonies, no right to collect taxes from the colonies. During the French and Indian war, the local colonial legislatures raised troops and taxes in support of the war. After the war was over, England sought to pay off debt by collecting taxes from anywhere but England.
No taxation without representation.
What was the political argument?
