  1. The Whiskey Rebellion A Challenge for the New Government

  2. DO NOW: • Complete your worksheet on the Hamilton plan. • Check your answers with a partner.

  3. Unit 6, Journal #3 The country is in debt…It has been for a while now. Imagine that Barack Obama is coming out with a new policy to tax the use of Facebook and text messaging as a way to better stabilize the economy. There will be a $2.00 surcharge every week for the use of Facebook. Additionally, every text message that surpasses 100 will be taxed 5 cents. • Do you think this is a good plan? Will this help our economy? Why or why not? • What would be the repercussions for such actions? List all you can think of- both positive and negative.

  4. Federalists and Democratic-Republicans Emerge • The split in Washington’s Cabinet gave rise to the country’s first political parties! • Two parties formed around one key issue: The power and size of the federal gov’t in relation to state gov’ts. • Those who shared in Hamilton’s view of a strong central gov’t called themselves: Federalists • Those who supported Jefferson’s view of strong state gov’ts called themselves: Republicans • (No relation to today’s Republicans, later renamed DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICANS—ancestors of today’s Democrats!)

  5. Federalists and Democratic-Republicans Emerge • The existence of political parties worried many, including GW. • Parties are a danger to our national unity! • With a partner, discuss: • Do you feel that political parties are a danger to our unity today? Why or why not?

  6. The Whiskey Rebellion • During Washington’s second term, an incident that would challenge the new government arose that reflected the disconnect between the government and regional interests of the states. • 1789- Hamilton’s plan to restore the economy starts with a “protective tariff” (import tax on goods from Europe) • Not good enough! • Pushes through an “excise tax” (a tax on the product’s manufacture, sale, or distribution—on whiskey)

  7. The Whiskey Rebellion Let’s see what happens…. • In a group of 2-4, read the packet and answer the questions on the front and back of the packet provided. • If you do not finish in this class period, it is homework.
