Farewell Address Key terms/ideas/ people/places: Whiskey Rebellion John Neville George Washington By the end of class today, I will be able to answer the following: What warnings were in Washington’s farewell address? Why were farmers upset with the Whiskey tax? Mississippi River Notes Class 63—Whiskey Rebellion and Farewell January 7, 2016 Whiskey Rebellion is close to home for-taking place right in your backyard started when Alexander Hamilton placed a 7 cent tax on Whiskey Here is the problem o transportation is expensive and Pittsburgh is still the frontier. Transporting grain by mule is expensive. But if you turn that grain into rum, you reduce the amount you are carrying as 24 bushels of rye are reduced to a pair of 8 gallon kegs of whiskey valued at about a $1. This whiskey served as currency in a barter economy. To farmers struggling to survive, the tax looked enormous because the tax could only be paid in cash. Whiskey was also the “water of life on the frontier,” used for drinking, curing disease, celebrating weddings, and mourning at wakes. At first the people of Western PA just ignored the tax. Once the federal government began cracking down, that’s when the violence erupted. It was a huge turn back the clock day for Pennsylvanians. They physically harassed the tax collectors, shaved their heads, tore off their clothes, and then tarred and feathered them. This was the frontier after all, you had to be tough to survive here. The violence would escalate on July 16, 1794 at a Pennsylvania Plantation known as “Bower Hill.” This was the home of John Neville-one of the men placed in charge of collecting the tax. At daybreak, about 50 men armed with rifles approached his home. They demanded he resign his position. When he refused, shots rang out. Neville, who defended his home with the help of his slaves, suffered no causalities, while they killed 1 attacker and wounded four others. The drama was not over as the next day 50 turned into hundreds. Once again, Neville protected with the help of his slaves and about 11 soldiers from Fort Pitt. Neville wasn’t so lucky this time as he escaped through a thicket and a few of the soldiers were killed and several wounded. Neville’s plantation was burned. G.W. sees this as a huge potential problem. After all, he remembers Shay’s rebellion and doesn’t want anything like that to occur. So he nips this rebellion in the bud quickly by sending 13,000 troops to PA. G.W. will be the one leading this charge. They arrest about 20 leaders and take them back to Philadelphia. Only two men were found guilty of treason and Washington pardoned both. Shows the Federal Government has authority/strength Washington’s Farewell Address (actually a farewell letter) What is Washington telling us to do as he exits the spot light of the nation? Remain neutral in relationships with other countries Don’t get involved in European affairs Steer clear of permanent alliances Unity at home, independence abroad ____________________________________ 7 Grade Social Studies th Mexico & U.S. History from the Revolution to Reconstruction Class 64—Election of 1796, XYZ, Alien & Sedition, & VA/KY Resolutions January 8, 2016 Focus: You are a newspaper columnist.
