Jay Treaty-Democratic-Republican:We didn't like this treaty it did not allow us to trade with the french.We wanted diplomatic and economic relations with france but this treaty would restrict them.We were now going to go with a direct system of commercial hostility with Great Britain asa counter proposal because of this treaty but they got it shot down.
Excise tax on whiskey Democratic Republican
The farmers already how a low income as it is. If the Federal government takes away Whiskey from them how do they expect them to make any money? The federalist are being completely unfair to the farmers and if they were smart they would find another way to pay off there debts. If they don’t it wouldn’t surprise me if a rebellion started from the farmers.
Bacon's Rebellion -1676, Leisler’s Rebellion - 1691, Paxton Boys of PA - 1764, Carolina Regulator Movement -1771,Shay's Rebellion 1787, and Whiskey Rebellion 1794...History doesn't repeat itself, but at least it rhymes.
