Whiskey Rebellion. George called out the militia. Congress passed a federal tax on whiskey. Backwoods sorts in Pennsylvania did not like it. Washington pardoned all involved in the rebellion that got nasty at times. He proved his point and did not feel the need, like Hamilton, to kill more people to make a point. Showed the feds had teeth unlike the Articles of Confederation that allowed Shays Rebellion. Shays was one reason for the convention being called. The feds. were useless in stopping Daniel Shays. It was applauded at the time but it did show the case the Anti-Federalists made against the feds.

It wasn’t till the early 1850s, though—when all the commies who had escaped the hangman in 1848’s rebellion in Europe—had shown up in usa and began positioning themselves in the legislatures of canada and washington, eventually the Union army, etc.

Karl Marx had already been a writer for the NY Tribune w/Horace Greeley for 10 years, etc, etc...the writing was then on the wall for anyone w/a crystal ball...i.e., dishonest abe, etc.
