c c) The Whiskey Insurgency
During the Whiskey Rebellion in the 1790s, farmers in western Pennsylvania rebelled against the newly formed United States government's excise tax on whiskey. The rebellion was a response to the government's efforts to assert its authority over the states and individuals. The term "Whiskey Insurgency" accurately describes the nature of the protest as it involved armed resistance and opposition to the tax on whiskey production.
