Question 5 • MI-Government/Civics 2023

Answer
A
It led many to turn against George Washington.
B
It created greater division between the new political parties.
C
It laid the foundation for early temperance movements.
D
It was very positive, and the whiskey tax was kept permanently.

Explanation

The Whiskey Rebellion intensified the disagreement between Federalists and Democratic-Republicans over federal power and how the government should respond to protests. The conflict therefore deepened divisions between the emerging political parties. It did not broadly turn people against Washington, and the whiskey tax was eventually repealed.
