What problem faced President George Washington during the Whiskey Rebellion of 1791-1794?​

History
1 answer:
kozerog [31]3 years ago

Answer:

The Whiskey Rebellion. In 1794, farmers from Western Pennsylvania rose up in protest of what they saw as unfair taxation and provided the new nation, and George Washington, with a looming crisis. In 1791, Congress approved a new, federal tax on spirits and the stills that produced them.

Explanation (more notes):

The violent climax occurred in the area around Pittsburgh in the summer of 1794. Following a pattern established in the American Revolution, local farmers had begun holding special meetings to discuss their opposition to the tax as early as 1792. A mass meeting in Pittsburgh declared that the people would prevent the tax from being collected and one tax collector was even tarred and feathered in protest.

President Washington soon declared such meetings unlawful, but among ordinary settlers in western Pennsylvania he was often seen as just another large-scale landowner from the east who didn't understand local conditions. Many men would not back down in the face of what they considered an oppressive and unjust tax. Matters came to a head when an angry crowd who refused to pay the tax harassed a federal marshal, tax collector, and a handful of federal soldiers. The troops surrendered and the marshal's house was torched. Other minor protests soon swept western Pennsylvania and there were rumors of holding a convention to discuss secession from the United States.

Which factor was a cause of both revolutions in russia in 1917?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

In 1917, two revolutions appeared in Russia. These revolutions would end the imperial rule which had been established for centuries.

Explanation:

Through the revolutions in Russia in 1917, there would be some social changes that would allow the establishment of the Soviet Union.

The majority of countries in Western Europe considered Russia as an undeveloped society. During the Russian Empire, serfdom was practiced. This was a form of feudalism which forced the landless peasants to attend the nobility's lands.

However, this practice had been abolished in most of Western Europe's countries by the end of the Middle Ages.

How was the Harlem Renaissance indicative of the Age of Anxiety?
Sergio039 [100]

The Harlem Renaissance started in the late 1910s and went through the 1930s. Its causes are all localized in the many transformations America was going through the 1920s.

The age of anxiety was characterized by growing fundamentalism, blatant racism with the rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan and the mob attacks on black veterans of World War I known as the Red Summer, nativism, hatred of immigrants, hatred of non-Catholics, anti-communism that is known as the First Red Scare caused by the October Revolution (1917) in Russia, hatred for anything that looked like leftism and defense of worker's rights.  

Many of these things were caused by and/or impacted by growing industrialization, consumer culture, government's encouragement of business. It was during this time that the Great Migration started: the event when millions of African Americans migrated towards the North to cities like New York, Detroit, Chicago, and Philadelphia.

All this together created a scenario of growing mass culture that generated more space, opportunities, and the need for black people to finally express themselves in art. It was in the works of the Harlem Renaissance that black authors defied racism and the lynchings they were suffering in the sphere of popular culture.
