A few years after the consitution was ratified the government put an excise tax on whiskey. The growers of the whiskey ingredients considered the tax tyrannical so they got their guns, second amendment rights, and got ready to defend those rights against the government.
George Washington called out the militia and led the militia to put down the uprising. Now both militia and whiskey growers were armed with muskets, no tanks, no airplanes nothing but muskets, but the Whiskey Rebellion ended almost immediately.
How many rebellions against our tyrannical government have been successsful?
