In October of 1794, Washington mustered up some fifteen thousand troops and personally led them to the area of rebellion. After they met no resistance, Washington turned the command over to the governor of Pennsylvania. The militia men scoured the countryside and captured a dozen farmers, who they took back to Philadelphia. Two were convicted of treason and sentence to die,, but President Washington pardoned them. So ended the only serious challenge to federal authority prior to the Civil War.
