[|http://www.ushistory.org]  During Washington's first term as president, Alexander Hamilton, introduced a series of bills to create an American financial system. The plan called for the federal government to assume the Revolutionary War debts of the states. This would tie the states more tightly to the federal government and give creditors an incentive to preserve the government. The plan also called for the establishment of a national bank, which would further strengthen the government and create strong national credit. One way they did this was by collecting taxes from the colonies. The capital was in Philadelphia. =====

=
There were a few people involved. One person was Alexander Hamilton, hence the name Alexander Hamilton’s Financial Plan. Another one was Gorge Washington.

Alexander Hamilton faced many problems. Among the most pressing was the large national debt. They had borrowed heavily from foreign countries and ordinary citizens to pay soldiers and buy supplies.

3. Washington- Whiskey Rebellion - By Nick Sekuterski


 * The Rebellion against the payment of the excise tax. The law was first tried to be enforced by peaceful means, but the people did not want that. The rebels grew more violent, tarring and feathering an inspector of the revenue, and finally organized a military, declaring that they were open to State laws only, not acts of the United States. This was called the shays rebellion because a farmer named shay protested this law. ||  ||

In1791-winter session of Congress both houses approved a bill that put an excise tax on all distilled alcohol. United States Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton, proposed the bill to help prevent the national debt from growing. Loud protests from all districts of the new nation soon followed. These protests were loudest in the western counties of Pennsylvania.

The first test of the strength of the government founded on the new Constitution was made in Pennsylvania, in 1794and also on the frontier. By a rebellion against the payment of the excise tax.

The Tax payment was six cents per gallon. The farmers could not sell their whisky because it was so expensive. Many farmers protested against this law or tax. This tax had made the Europeans out of dept. The farmers were also mad because they did not want to give their money to the Europeans. The whisky rebellion showed that the American government would act firmly in time of crisis. The president showed that violence would not be tolerated if you disagreed with the government.

Europe respects the united states after we made are government stronger. The united states gained respect by switch the articles of confederation over to a constitution. The government had to make a tax on whisky because it was very popular and the new it would be able to get them out of dept. [] [] []
