  Recapturing the historical drama and significance of the Whiskey Rebellion-the first large-scale resistance to a law of the U.S. government under the Constitution-Slaughter assesses this tax rebellion among frontier farmers in 1794 in relation to interregional tensions, republican ideology, and the social and political conflict of the 1780s and '90s.
