The Whiskey Rebellion started off peaceful, no violence, just petitions and protests. And in an action that would echo across a couple centuries the protestors were completely ignored until they started tarring and feathering tax collectors and uprising and then the state massively crushed them. The founders hated the people, they thought the people were "a great beast." The founding fathers would give the current state a great big thumbs up on how it handles protests and a giant thumb down on tolerating freed black people.

Spirits were one of the few ways yeoman farmers were able to turn their grain into a store of value, and the state was insistent on getting their cut.
