In the whiskey rebellion What did Hamilton do to try and raise money for the government?

During the Whiskey Rebellion, Alexander Hamilton aimed to raise money for the federal government by imposing an excise tax on whiskey production. This tax was part of his broader financial plan to stabilize the nation's economy and reduce the national debt. The tax, however, faced significant opposition from farmers and distillers, particularly in western Pennsylvania, leading to the rebellion. Hamilton's response included the deployment of federal troops to quell the uprising and assert the authority of the federal government.
