The result of the Whiskey Rebellion was that **the federal government asserted its authority**. The rebellion, which took place in the 1790s in response to an excise tax on whiskey, demonstrated the federal government's willingness to use force to maintain order and collect taxes. President George Washington led a militia to suppress the rebellion, showing that the government would not tolerate violent resistance to its laws.
