The Whiskey Rebellion broke out in 1792 when farmers attacked tax collectors in western Pennsylvania. Farmers who used their leftover grain and corn in the form of whiskey as a medium of exchange were forced to pay a new tax. Throughout counties in Western Pennsylvania, protesters used violence and intimidation to prevent federal officials from collecting the tax.
