        As shown above, these two political parties had drastically different views on how the government should be run. Their different ideologies are apparent in the controversy of the Whiskey Rebellion. The Rebellion began when Alexander Hamilton had agreed that the feds would assume all debt incurred by the states during the Revolutionary War. Since he needed to raise money to pay these debts, he decided to impose a tax on the whiskey. This tax seemed to hurt the Westerners more so than the Easterners since the west relied heavily on making whiskey to earn a living. Many of the Easterners were a bit more sophisticated and usually drank wine instead of whiskey. Therefore, the Easterners would pay proportionally less due to their drinking preferences. The Westerners revolted against this tax and their efforts spread quickly. George Washington put an end to the rebellion and the tax was repealed.

        The controversy between the two political parties impacted national politics greatly. Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton are credited for being the first leaders of the two parties, known as the Federalists and the Republicans. Their efforts have shaped what our government is today.
