Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Western Insurrection in Western Pennsylvania: Commonly Called the Whiskey Insurrection, 1794 Now, if the mere circumstance of addressing a letter to Bradford by the insurgent Brackenridge, was a ground of suspicion, what shall we say of the friendly letter addressed to that person by Major Craig, shortly before Bradford's flight, as a self-convicted traitor, with all the wrongs done or intended to the Neville connection on his head? Could any one of the connection correspond with such a man, under any circum stances, without a disregard of all delicacy or propriety? There can be no excuse or apology for such an act; the only clue to it is the deep and deadly feeling of hatred to the insurgent Brackenridge. The ostensible motive for this revolting act, was to learn from Bradford whether the insurgent Brackenridge had manifested hostile feelings to Craig, personally, especially at Braddock's Field, in the committee of oflicers, and had spoken of him in a disrespectful manner. Was there no other person but the traitor Bradford to whom such inquiry could be ad dressed? The truth is too palpable - and sustains the conjecture of the Incidents - that the real design was to make a witness of Bradford against the supposed insurgent; and knowing his reckless disregard of truth, it was supposed he would say anything to save himself, through the powerful influence of the Neville connection. In this they were dis appointed; for, although Bradford, in his reply to Craig, said enough to gratify hate, yet the main and real Object, if the conjecture be correct, was not attained. Bradford dared not venture on the monstrous and self evident falsehood, of implicating the hated enemy of the N evilles, either as principal or accessory, in his treasonable designs Besides, he began to fear that his case was so peculiar in its atrocity, that he could not count with certainty, even with the aid of the most powerful influence, on being included in the amnesty, which he had Opposed, and then signed on the day. His case was beyond the power of mandragon or hellebore. He, therefore, fled to Louisiana, then a Spanish province, where he shared largely of royal favor, in grants of land 1 I hope I have now done forever with the Neville connection and their representative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When President George Washington ordered an army of 13,000 men to march west in 1794 to crush a tax rebellion among frontier farmers, he established a range of precedents that continues to define federal authority over localities today. The "Whiskey Rebellion" marked the first large-scale resistance to a law of the U.S. government under the Constitution. This classic confrontation between champions of liberty and defenders of order was long considered the most significant event in the first quarter-century of the new nation. Thomas P. Slaughter recaptures the historical drama and significance of this violent episode in which frontier West and cosmopolitan East battled over the meaning of the American Revolution. The book not only offers the broadest and most comprehensive account of the Whiskey Rebellion ever written, taking into account the political, social and intellectual contexts of the time, but also challenges conventional understandings of the Revolutionary era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping and sensational tale of violence, alcohol, and taxes, The Whiskey Rebellion uncovers the radical eighteenth-century people’s movement, long ignored by historians, that contributed decisively to the establishment of federal authority. In 1791, on the frontier of western Pennsylvania, local gangs of insurgents with blackened faces began to attack federal officials, beating and torturing the tax collectors who attempted to collect the first federal tax ever laid on an American product—whiskey. To the hard-bitten people of the depressed and violent West, the whiskey tax paralyzed their rural economies, putting money in the coffers of already wealthy creditors and industrialists. To Alexander Hamilton, the tax was the key to industrial growth. To President Washington, it was the catalyst for the first-ever deployment of a federal army, a military action that would suppress an insurgency against the American government. With an unsparing look at both Hamilton and Washington, journalist and historian William Hogeland offers a provocative, in-depth analysis of this forgotten revolution and suppression. Focusing on the battle between government and the early-American evangelical movement that advocated western secession, The Whiskey Rebellion is an intense and insightful examination of the roots of federal power and the most fundamental conflicts that ignited—and continue to smolder—in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Papers Relating to What Is Known as the Whiskey Insurrection: In Western Pennsylvania Perhaps no part of the history of Pennsylvania is less understood than the insurrection of 1794, commonly known as the "Whiskey Insurrection.'' A summary, therefore of the various excise laws of Pennsylvania, with their fate as indicating the temper of the people on that subject, together with a notice of the hardships the early settlers of Western Pennsylvania had to endure; the disturbance following the enactment of an Excise law by Congress, and of the measures, peaceable and military, taken to suppress them, will perhaps not be deemed improper in connection with the documents embraced in this volume. On the 10th of March, 1084, the first Excise was imposed by the Assembly of the Province, in an act, entitled "Bill of Aid and Assistance of the Government." This objectionable feature thereof was soon after repealed, and not renewed until the year 1738. when the Provincial Assembly passed "An act for laying an excise on wine, rum, brandy and other spirits." So unpopular was this act, that it remained in force only a few months. In May, 1744, $ it was again renewed by the Assembly, for the purpose of providing money without a general tax, not only to purchase arms and ammunition for defense, but to answer such demands as might be made upon the inhabitants of the Province by his Majesty for distressing the public enemy in America. This was not long in operation. In the year 1772, the attention of the Assembly was once more called to the excise as a productive source of revenue, and a duty was levied on domestic and foreign spirits. At first, however, as to home distilled spirits it was not executed, and indeed, hardly any steps were taken for the purpose, particularly in the older counties. But during the Revolutionary war, the necessities of the State and a temporary unpopularity of distillation, owing to the immense amount of grain consumed, rendered the collection of duties both necessary and practicable, and a considerable revenue was thereby attained. Towards the end of the war, the act was repealed. In 1780, Congress resolved that an allowance of an additional sum should be made to the army, to compensate for the depreciation of its nay. This was distributed among the States for discharge. Pennsylvania made several appropriations for the purpose, but the revenues so applied turned out to l>e unproductive. The depreciation fund was always favorably regarded, and upon an application of the officers of the Pennsylvania line.
