What is one method Hamilton used to raise revenue?

One method Alexander Hamilton used to raise revenue was the implementation of excise taxes, notably on distilled spirits. This tax aimed to generate income for the federal government and to help reduce the national debt. It also led to significant political resistance, exemplified by the Whiskey Rebellion, highlighting the tensions between federal authority and local interests. Hamilton's fiscal policies, including this tax, laid the groundwork for a more centralized financial system in the United States.
