The "Whiskey Rebellion" marked the first large-scale resistance to a law of the U.S. government under the Constitution. This classic confrontation between champions of liberty and defenders of order was long considered the most significantevent in the first quarter-century of the new nation. Thomas P. Slaughter recaptures the historical drama and significance of this violent episode in which frontier West and cosmopolitan East battled over the meaning of the American Revolution. The book not only offers the broadest and most comprehensive account of the Whiskey Rebellion ever written, taking into account the political, social and intellectual contexts of the time, but also challenges conventional understandings of the Revolutionary era. 410 0$aOxford University Press paperback. 517 3 $aFrontier epilogue to the American Revolution 606 $aWhiskey Rebellion, Pa., 1794 607 $aPennsylvania$xHistory 615 0$aWhiskey Rebellion, Pa., 1794. 676 $a973.4/3 700 $aSlaughter$b Thomas P$g(Thomas Paul)$0969636 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781944603321 996 $aThe Whiskey Rebellion$93724358 997 $aUNINA
