The Whiskey Rebellion was started by many United States citizens after the start of the Revolutionary War. President Washington resorted to using military force to put an end to the rebellion, but Jefferson hated the idea and considered it to be a dangerous mistake.

He saw it as a test of the new administration's ability to govern.

Shay's rebellion showed how Congress was unable to organize a military.
Shays' Rebellion frightened many Americans because it was just that, an armed rebellion against a fledgling Federal Government. The rebellion, which directly challenged the authority of a Federal Government that was still predominantly weak (see "Articles of Confederation"), demanded rapid action from the President, at the time George Washington. Washington lead several thousand troops directly into the area, silencing any idea of rebellion and maintaining the legitimacy of the government, as well as demonstrating to Americans that rebellion against "The Peoples's Government" was not acceptable. In short though, Americans were watching the government deploying soldiers domestically to quell rebellion purported by other Americans. This was frightening, watching a rebellion being put down within our own nation. In the end, Washington pardoned the leaders of the rebellion, and everything ultimately turned out okay.

Shay's rebellion showed how Congress was unable to organize a military.
The Whiskey Rebellion was a citizen revolt against a 1791 tax on whiskey. The reaction to the 1794 uprising in Pennsylvania demonstrated the determination of the US to enforce Federal Laws. The militias of several states, under the personal command of President George Washington, were used to end the insurrection. The tax on whiskey was bitterly and fiercely opposed by the settlers on the frontier from the day it was passed. Western farmers considered it to be both unfair and discriminatory, since they had traditionally converted their excess grain into liquor. Since the nature of the tax affected those who sold the whiskey, it directly affected many farmers. Many protest meetings were held, and a situation arose which was reminiscent of the opposition to the Stamp Act of 1765, before the American Revolution. Several groups were formed in opposition to the tax, and refused to pay it. Eventually the coercion of officials and private citizens prompted Washington to use military action.

Washington state?
The Democratic-Republicans represented mainly farming interests whereas the Federalists represented the urban/merchant class interests. The excise tax on whiskey was developed by Alexander Hamilton to help pay for the national debt (this debt was created when the government assumed the Revolutionary War debts of all the states). However, because this tax targeted the sale of whiskey it greatly impacted Western farmers who sold whiskey to supplement their income. This tax favored the large Eastern/urban whiskey distillers but greatly reduced the income/livelihood of the small Western farmers. The Democratic-Republicans used this issue as part of their platform and repealed the tax when they came to power in 1801.
