Answer:

Explanation:

1. Mary Ellen Pleasant is nowadays called "Mother of civil rights in California" because she won several lawsuits for the rights of African-Americans.

Zina [86]
<span>The Whiskey Rebellion was a tax protest in 1791 during the presidency of George Washington. It is also known today as the Whiskey Insurrections. This “whiskey tax” was actually the first tax that the government of America imposed on a domestic product. It angered the farmers because in these regions, whiskey was also used as a medium of exchange of goods. It was formed by the federal government and eventually became a law in 1791. The goal was to generate revenue to help reduce national debt and was applied to all distilled spirits. Whiskey back then was the most famous distilled beverage in the US and the excise tax that was added to it was known to have greatly contributed to funding the war debt during the American Revolutionary War. </span>
