Read lots and let us know what you decide. Remember, the question asks, "Would you consider ... ?" That means YOU, not us!!
would you consider Washington putting down the whiskey rebellion "stabilizing" the gov't

Well, I have my opinion, but I wanted to confirm this makes sense.
The whiskey tax was unpopular, therefore NOT stabilizing the country, but it stabilized the gov't b/c it brought in tax money.
When washington put down the rebellion, he stabled the gov't by showing it could enforce the law, but it caused citizens of the country to be unsteady.
That is where my question comes in on whether or not it stabilized the gov't

Results: Government victory
Armed resistance eliminated
Minor tax evasion
This leads me to believe it stabilized the gov't, but if the people were unhappy, wouldn't that cause more unsettlement in the gov't

The government can be stable even if some people are unhappy about something.
