Join King_Trout as he discusses the Whiskey Rebellion was the first time the history of the United States that a tax had been levied on a Federal Level; setting in motion of chain of events that would ruin the next two hundred and some years. Alexander Hamilton has the brilliant idea to tax whiskey federally in The United States, sparking riots, protests, and almost a massacre.

As an Appalachian this is fabulous! I spend hours explaining to people who move to the Shenandoah Valley the local culture and where it came from. This video is absolutely going to be added to my resources!

The Revolutionary War was fought over three main factors, high taxes, censorship, and firearm confiscation, fast forward to 2024 and those are the same three issues we are facing today!

This rekindled my memories of being the only kid in my entire class paying attention to this back and in 7th grade catholic school. I’m here for this.

Pennsylvanian here. The western Pa area hasn't changed much and the rest of the state still wonders "WTF is going on in western Pennsylvania" 😂

I grew up in the Whiskey Rebellion area. Fayette County, PA. This is my history and the reason I fly their flag on my porch.

Once again, Alexander Hamilton is directly responsible for communism and all problems in America. Somebody give Burr a medal.

Reminder, that maryland is also a southern state based on the mason-dixon line, and would have succeeded during the Civil war if not for federal occupation

So funny. The USS Pueblo would be a good one. Or the unintentionally attempted nuclear bombing of Goldsboro, North Carolina. Keep crushing!

I have the whiskey rebellion flag hanging in my room... that's the rebel flag we should be flying.

Death, taxes, lawn care.

Wow, that was good. It's like the crash course history videos, but more entertaining and targeted towards a group of individuals who are here watching because they want to. Absolutely phenomenal. I'm looking forward to more.

Bro hittin the chug jug at the end of the vid was sick. Thanks for teaching me that there never was a good point in the government!

The revolution wasn’t actually fought over taxation without representation. It was about the British crown stating it had total ( arbitrary ) power over everything in the colonies. The actual fighting started over gun control.
