I think the Whiskey Rebellion is rather ironic. The Western Pennsylvanian farmers believed they were being taxed unfairly for thier profits and began rioting. In response President Washington promptly ordered the militias of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and New Jersey to march against the rebels. Washington did just as King George had to ensure that federal law was obeyed.
