1789, Constitution ratified.
1792, Whiskey Tax Rebellion.
Slave owners then were an elite equivalent to aristocrats with serfs marginalized, the elite organized and banded together. Serfs rebelled when the only portable (and potable) crop they had was distilled spirits.
Roads were not so good back then, and the Whiskey Tax Rebellion was in the newly penetrated non-coastal hill country. (JD land.)
Back then the proper powers restored equilibrium, law and order. And the whiskey tax was paid or the serfs not complying became outlaw moonshiners.
Tune. The song ended and the suits applauded. Now the suits say they're the rebels.
The beat goes on.
Make lemonade.
