The Whiskey Rebellion lasted from 1791 to 1794. It was a violent tax protest against the federal excise tax on whiskey, which farmers and distillers in western Pennsylvania strongly opposed. The rebellion peaked in 1794 with the mobilization of federal troops to suppress the uprising, ultimately leading to its decline and resolution. By the end of 1794, the rebellion had effectively ended, with most participants either fleeing or submitting to federal authority.
