Answer:
C
Explanation:
The calling of the militia had the desired effect of essentially ending the Whiskey Rebellion. By the time the militia reached Pittsburgh, the rebels had dispersed and could not be found. The militia apprehended approximately 150 men and tried them for treason. A paucity of evidence and the inability to obtain witnesses hampered the trials. Two men, John Mitchell and Philip Weigel, were found guilty of treason, though both were pardoned by President Washington. By 1802, then President Thomas Jefferson repealed the excise tax on whiskey. Under the eye of President Washington, the nascent United States survived the first true challenge to federal authority.
The British commander that was sent to conquer the French in the Ohio River Valley was John Forbes. He captured the French outpost of Port Duquesne. The campaign is known as the Forbes Expedition. The objective of the expedition was to displace the French from the area in preparation for a later invasion to Canada.
