FTP, name this 1794 revolt that erupted in Washington County, Pennsylvania, to protest a new excise tax on distilleries.
Two of its leaders, David Bradford and John Mitchell, were convicted of treason, but each received a presidential pardon.  Among its causes were the predominance of absentee landlords, a lack of protection from Indians, and the absence of federal courts; the revolt began when a mob of farmers told a local tax collector to leave the state, leading to an armed confrontation.  When Governor Thomas Mifflin refused to become involved,  President Washington called up 13,000 militiamen to end the uprising.
