I wouldn't use the term "terrorist", but Washington was certainly in the wrong and he knew it. Remember he pardoned everyone involved in the Whiskey rebellion.

It's also worth pondering that Washington was a large scale whiskey producer himself and benefited personally from the tariff since it raised the bar against smaller producers.
