George Washington
George Washington called out the troops to put down the whiskey rebellion.
George Washington took with him 13,000 federal soldiers to crush the rebellion but before he arrived it had dispersed.
George Washington set a precedent by sending federal troops, specifically a militia force commanded by General Henry Lee, to put down the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794. This decisive action demonstrated the federal government's willingness and ability to enforce its laws and maintain order. It reinforced the authority of the federal government and established the principle that rebellion against federal law would not be tolerated.
This was an example of the federal government's new power, under George Washington. Previously the Articles of Confederation left the federal government useless due to the states' rights supporters. Though the Whiskey Rebellion was not an extremely large rebellion, Washington sent a large military force to put it down, showing its new power.
President George Washington personally lead a federal militia against the rebels. The rebellion occured not far from Philapelphia, which was then the Capital of the nation.
