Whiskey Rebellion George Washington Act of U.S. Congress 1794 American Newspaper

Description: Whiskey Rebellion George Washington Act of U.S. Congress 1794 American Newspaper Offered is an original, historic, & collectible old newspaper: THE CONNECTICUT COURANT, HARTFORD, June 23, 1794  Half of page 2 is taken up with an Act of Congress: "An ACT Making Further Provision for Securing and Collecting the Duties on foreign and Domestic Distilled Spirits, Stills, Wines and Teas." At its conclusion it is signed in type by the President; Go. Washington This Act of Congress was notable to the troubling Whiskey Rebellion in Western Pennsylvania. An Act from 1791 initiated the rebellion by grain farmers and this Act tried to alleviate some of the issues.  Ultimately, hundreds of Western Pennsylvania farmers attacked the home of a tax inspector despite it allowing trials in state courts if the defendant was farther than fifty miles from the federal district court. Many westerners continued to refuse to pay the tax and the rebellion only grew. The whiskey tax would be repealed in the early 1800's during the Jefferson administration. Historians argue that this episode, in the long run, strengthened U.S. nationalism because the people appreciated how well Washington handled the rebels without resorting to tyranny. Four pages, never-trimmed margins, very minor fold wear causes a tiny slit at the fold juncture affecting 3 words in the Act but causing no loss of readability. Please Note: All of our offerings are 100% authentic! We do not offer reprints or reproductions of any kind. They are guaranteed to be original! Links to Archival Storage Options & Certificates of Authenticity Are Below! Historical reports may be beautiful or ugly, but they are always informative. While we rejoice in the beautiful (heroic, discovery, amazing feats, etc.), we at Historys Newsstand also offer "the ugly" for we are determined to learn from the wrongs of the past - understanding, to do so, we must be willing to look these wrongs directly in the face and shout "NO MORE!". It is for this reason many Black Americans collect historic slave ads, Jews collect reports regarding the Holocaust, women collect coverage of the Womens Suffrage Movement, etc.. If you find any to be offensive, we agree! Hopefully this is an indication we are moving in the right direction. Domestic Shipping Policy... For this specific item, A U.S. winner pays $10.00 S&H.
