YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe severance of the American colonies from Great Britain began, in large part, over the constitutional implications of British taxation. However, a concerted tax revolt in the early 1790s, the Whiskey Rebellion, was viewed as an existential threat to the fledgling United States. In this video, I explain why.
In my book, Compact of the Republic, I explained how the Whiskey Rebellion encouraged the rift between the Hamiltonian Federalists and Jeffersonian Republicans
