George Washington had imposed a tax on whiskey. Farmers in western Pennsylvania rebelled against the tax and refused to pay it. Washington ordered the state's military to put down the rebellion. The state did not listen to him so Washington sent federal troops to put it down. This basically formed the idea that the government can put down internal rebellions using force if necessary.
