Abstract:
An examination of the role of North Carolina in the 1794 rebellion against the federal excise tax on domestic spirits, also known as the whiskey tax, which began with the revolt of 7000 farmers in western Pennsylvania. Resistance to the tax within North Carolina helped define the state's political orientation in the new republic and shaped its emerging political culture.
