October 18, 1794

COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Oct. 18, 1794  This issue has content relating to the Whiskey Rebellion in Western Pennsylvania. This was a tax protest by farmers who sold their grain in the form of whiskey. The Whiskey Rebellion demonstrated that the new national government had the willingness and ability to suppress violent resistance to its laws.
Page 2 has a report titled: "The Patriot Army", plus another report headed: "Pennsylvania" and another: "From the Patriot Army" all taking close to a full column on the Rebellion (see).
Four pages, nice condition.
