  • THE Whiskey Insurrection of 1794 Long Has Been Regarded As One of the Decisive Events in Early American History
    THE WHISKEY INSURRECTION: A RE-EVALUATION By JACOB E. COOKE* THE Whiskey Insurrection of 1794 long has been regarded as one of the decisive events in early American history. But on the question of why it was significant there has been a century and a half of disagreement. Fortunately for the historian, how- ever, there have not been many interpretations; indeed, there have been only two. And, as anyone would guess, these have been the Federalist and the anti-Federalist, the Hamiltonian and the Jeffersonian. It is not the purpose of this paper to describe the fluctuating historical reputations of Jefferson and Hamilton; at one period of time (say, *the Jacksonian era) Jefferson was in the ascendancy; at another time (say, the post-Civil War period) Hamilton crowded Jefferson out of the American historical hall of fame. But for the past half-century and longer, the interpretation that our historians have given to the American past has been predi- cated on a Jeffersonian bias, and the Whiskey Insurrection is no exception. The generally accepted interpretation of the Whiskey Insur- rection reads something like this: In March, 1791, under the prodding of Alexander Hamilton and against the opposition of the Westerners and some Southerners, Congress levied an excise tax on whiskey. This measure was an integral part of Hamilton's financial plan, a plan which was designed to soak the farmer and to spare the rich. There was sporadic opposition to the excise in several parts of the country, but the seat of opposition was in the four western counties of Pennsylvania.

The early Republic forms one such historical time period where, evidence suggests, historians have conjured nationalism where only a fractured nation existed.

  • The Whiskey Rebellion
    Page 20 Chapter 5 The Whiskey Rebellion tax on whiskey? To Alexander Hamilton and the Federalists in the east, it seemed to be a good idea. Hamilton believed that industries that could bear the burden should pay taxes. To the average American family, which drank six gallons of whiskey a year, such a tax would cost about A$1.50 annually. But to farmers in western Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the Carolinas, this was considered a tax on one of life’s necessities. In the west, whiskey was used freely at weddings to toast the bride and at funerals to mourn the dead. Whiskey was believed to warm the body in winter and refresh the spirit in summer. Whiskey had an even more important function in the western counties of Pennsylvania where whiskey was used in the place of money. Whether in notes issued by the Bank of the United States, currency printed by state banks, or coins minted by the U.S. Treasury, money was seldom seen by farmers living in these remote areas. Whiskey was their main source of cash. Twelve hundred pounds of wheat, oats, or rye could easily be distilled into 20 gallons of spirits, weighing 160 pounds. The liquor could then be loaded in jugs, slung across the backs of mules, and hauled some 300 miles from Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. There it would be sold at the price of $1 per gallon. Whiskey therefore became the one cash-producing product for these western farmers. Since it could so readily be exchanged for money, it was often used in the place of cash.

  • The Democratic Republican Societies at the End of the Eighteenth Century: the Western Pennsylvania Experience Marco M
    288 The Democratic Republican Societies at the End of the Eighteenth Century: The Western Pennsylvania Experience Marco M. Sioli University of Milan On July 3, 1793 in Philadelphia, Alexander James Dallas, wealthy merchant and Secretary to Governor Thomas Mifflin, speaking in his capacity of promoter and member of the Correspondence Committee of the Democratic Republican Society of Pennsylvania, read in the presence of the officers of the Society a circular letter addressed to the several counties of the State. This letter sought to furnish Pennsylvania inhabitants "a copy of the constitution of the Democratic Society" and addressed itself to the citizens of the State "in hopes, that after a candid con- sideration of its principles, and objects, you may be induced to promote its adop- tion in the county of which you are inhabitant." According to this document, the United States of America faced a challenge as "the seeds of luxury appear to have taken root in our domestic soil; and the jealous eye of patriotism already regards the spirit of freedom and equality, as eclipsed by the pride of wealth and the arro- gance of power."' Citizens present at the meeting of the Democratic Republican Society of Pennsylvania made some changes in the circular letter: "It was moved and seconded, that the word Sir be struck out throughout the Letter and the words Humble Servants from the subscription thereof, and that the words Fellow Citizen and Fellow Citizens be substituted in lieu thereof."2 In this way, with the stroke of a pen, they signaled a rejection of the deference that had always characterized political documents and popular petitions, in the pre-revolutionary period and afterwards, Shays rebels included.3 Nor was it simply a formal change of attitude, comparable to a republican transformation of street names in towns: from Queen Street to Liberty Street, from King Street to Broad Street, for example.

    1 SOVEREIGN SPIRITS: DEBTORS, REBELS, AND RADICALS IN EARLY AMERICAN PRINT A dissertation presented by Max White to The Department of English In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the field of English Northeastern University Boston, Massachusetts December, 2014 2 SOVEREIGN SPIRITS: DEBTORS, REBELS, AND RADICALS IN EARLY AMERICAN PRINT by Max White ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the College of Social Sciences and Humanities of Northeastern University 3 ABSTRACT As literary studies has departed from a nation-centric model of American literature in favor of a transnational approach that considers texts from North America, Europe, and the Caribbean, ideological, theoretical, and philosophical investigations of national origins have been eschewed in favor of materialist, historicist, and geographical readings of texts. The transnational approach foregrounds the recovery of forgotten writers, and incorporates archival materials as a means to better account for the range of texts and genres that circulated throughout the eighteenth century Atlantic world. However, the transnational approach is based largely on a historical narrative that distinguishes economic mobility from political power, and explains literary production as a product of seventeenth, eighteenth and early nineteenth century economic development. Reading literary texts that contest this historical narrative, this project reveals a class- conscious assembly of writers who express deep skepticism of federal power and republicanism. Writing poetry, political pamphlets, regional histories, financial reports, novels, religious tracts, and short stories, these authors narrate founding era history in terms of economic relations, race, gender, and religion, and contest portrayals of a vibrant participatory democracy.
