The Whiskey Rebellion and the Battle of Fallen Timbers: Key Events in Early American History

In 1794, President Washington faced the Whiskey Rebellion, instigated by Western farmers protesting taxes. To restore order, he led 15,000 troops to suppress the uprising, showcasing the federal government's authority. Meanwhile, earlier conflicts in the Northwest Territory culminated in the Battle of Fallen Timbers, where General Wayne defeated Native American confederations, leading to the Treaty of Greenville. Additionally, President Adams navigated the Quasi-War with France, opting for diplomacy over conflict. Together, these events shaped the young nation’s trajectory.
