In 1791 Congress placed an excise tax on whiskey to pay the debt. Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton came up with the idea. Farmers west of the Allegheny Mountains - immediately took the tax as a personal assault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhiskey was not only the drink of choice amongst the inhabitants of\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethe West, but it served, as one wit put it, like money, and medicine all in one as the Continental paper money was rarely honored. Many western distillers did not pay the excise, and if arrested had to make expensive trips to Philadelphia for trial. But the Whiskey tax was just part of growing unrest in the west, culminating in rebellion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe rebellion had a force of 7000 armed militia troops. To restore order to the ensuing “Whiskey Rebellion”, Washington sent the Continental Army. The 13,000 federal troops sent to the western Pennsylvania area were the first test of the power of the new government.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0120\/0692\/files\/questionable-Whiskey-Rebellion-Flag_480x480.png?v=1648753129\" width=\"251\" height=\"166\" style=\"float: left;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0120\/0692\/files\/questionable-Whiskey-Rebellion-Flag_480x480.png?v=1648753129\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEven before any shots were fired or organized militias marched, Western Pensyvanians began making an assortment of protest or \"rebel flags.\" One popular, but likely historically spurious \"Whiskey Rebellion Flag\" sold at flag stores contains the device of an eagle holding a ribbon in its beak and thirteen six-pointed stars scattered about a blue field. Historians disagree on whether it was ever actually flown as no contemporary accounts ever mention this flag and its symbolism is wrong as a rebellion flag.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAccounts are available of various other flags such as this 6 rebel stripe flag, with scripted versions stating \"\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn Equal Tax, and No Excis\u003c\/em\u003ee.\" After the tax collector's plantation farm was burned down the rebel flags started to get more aggressive, stating \"\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/libertymaniacs.com\/products\/whiskey-rebellion-6-stripes-flag\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/libertymaniacs.com\/products\/whiskey-rebellion-6-stripes-flag\"\u003eEqual Taxation and no Excise\u003c\/a\u003e\" and \"No Asylum for Traitors and Cowards\u003c\/em\u003e.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOthers stated \"\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiberty or Death\u003c\/em\u003e,\" or \"\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eliberty and Equality\u003c\/em\u003e, \" or even \"\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn Equal Tax and No Excise O Whiskey\u003c\/em\u003e.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg height=\"258\" width=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0120\/0692\/files\/whiskey-rebellion-tar-and-feather_480x480.png?v=1648837889\" style=\"float: right;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0120\/0692\/files\/whiskey-rebellion-tar-and-feather_480x480.png?v=1648837889\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe most reliable contemporary record is for the six-striped flag. At one gathering the rebels raised a liberty pole with a flag featuring six bars.
