The Whiskey Rebellion was the first domestic uprising in the U.S. to be suppressed by government militia. President Washington used militia and negotiators to enforce a whiskey excise tax on distilleries in Western Pennsylvania, resulting in two civilian deaths. Although the tax was deeply unpopular and repealed during Thomas Jefferson's presidency, the rebellion spurred the formation of political parties opposing government overreach. The flag from the rebellion, featuring an eagle and 13 six-pointed stars representing the original states, remains a symbol of protest against government taxation and overreach.
