Answer:

Whiskey generated so much income, that when the new nation struggled under the weight of Revolutionary War debt, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton proposed a tax on domestic liquor as a means of paying it off. Congress passed the legislation, but as Loyola University-trained historian Peter Kotowski explains, the tax soon met strident opposition.

To small farmers and distillers on the frontier in western Pennsylvania, whiskey was a means of financial survival, and they weren’t about to share their hard-earned money with the federal government. They refused to pay, and began tarring and feathering tax collectors and seizing their records at gunpoint in what became known as the Whiskey Rebellion.

President Washington—who himself later made whiskey in a distillery at Mount Vernon after he left office—initially tried to quell the uprising with a 1792 proclamation that admonished the farmers to comply. But two years later, after the malcontents set fire to the Pittsburgh home of a tax official, Washington didn’t have much choice but to respond with force.

Andrej [43]

It was the Farmers who were the first ones to experience the early depression in the 1920s.  

<u>Further Explanation:- </u>

<u>The Great Depression is considered the worst economic shutdown in the history of the United States. This economic decline started in the year 1929 and went on to the later stages of the 1930s.</u> The Crash of the Stock Market was the reason which brought this great depression. By the year 1933, there were around 25% of people in the United States were unemployed and the majority of banks in the United States went out of Business.

<u>It was the farmers who were the most affected by this economic shutdown caused by the Great depression</u>. Prices of their crops were falling year after year and states of Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas suffered severe drought which also caused dust storms. In the initial stages of the 1930s, the majority of farmers went bankrupt and because of that, they were not able to pay their loans and lost their farms. Corns that were grown by farmers became so cheap that instead of coal, people started burning corn to make their food. <u>Many farmers even formed farmers Union but all went in vain as it did not have any effect on Prices</u>.
