Whiskey Rebellion 6 Stripes FlagWith the Revolutionary War over, the newly created Federal government decided to assume the war debts of the individual states. In 1791 Congress placed an excise tax on whiskey to pay the debt. Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton came up with the idea.

With the Revolutionary War over, the newly created Federal government decided to assume the war debts of the individual states. In 1791 Congress placed an excise tax on whiskey to pay the debt. Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton came up with the idea. Farmers west of the Allegheny Mountains - immediately took the tax as a personal assault.

Whiskey was not only the drink of choice amongst the inhabitants of
the West, but it served, as one wit put it, like money, and medicine all in one as the Continental paper money was rarely honored. Many western distillers did not pay the excise, and if arrested had to make expensive trips to Philadelphia for trial. But the Whiskey tax was just part of growing unrest in the west, culminating in rebellion.

The rebellion had a force of 7000 armed militia troops. To restore order to the ensuing “Whiskey Rebellion”, Washington sent the Continental Army. The 13,000 federal troops sent to the western Pennsylvania area were the first test of the power of the new government.

Even before any shots were fired or organized militias marched, Western Pensyvanians began making an assortment of protest or "rebel flags." One popular, but likely historically spurious "Whiskey Rebellion Flag" sold at flag stores contains the device of an eagle holding a ribbon in its beak and thirteen six-pointed stars scattered about a blue field. Historians disagree on whether it was ever actually flown as no contemporary accounts ever mention this flag and its symbolism is wrong as a rebellion flag.

Accounts are available of various other flags such as this 6 rebel stripe flag, with scripted versions stating "An Equal Tax, and No Excise." After the tax collector's plantation farm was burned down the rebel flags started to get more aggressive, stating "Equal Taxation and no Excise – No Asylum for Traitors and Cowards."

Others stated "Liberty or Death," or "liberty and Equality, " or even "An Equal Tax and No Excise O Whiskey."

The most reliable contemporary record is for the six-striped flag. At one gathering the rebels raised a liberty pole with a flag featuring six bars. Hugh Henry Brackenridge, a moderate and eventual Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice who was opposed to both the tax and the violence, specifically mentions this flag in a book he wrote about the rebellion. “At Parkinson‟s Ferry, I think it was the morning of the second day, one was raised with a flag with six stripes, emblematical of the six counties there represented.”

Another handsome variation historians uncovered was one that has 7 stars and 7 bars, representing 5 Pennsylvania counties and 2 Virginia counties.

What all these described flags have in common are simplicity and an anti-Federal theme. Again, if one looks at the politics and people of the region the anti-Federal theme is not surprising. The people of western Pennsylvania (and many other western regions) were NOT, for the most part, federalists. They were of a distinct antifederalist tilt.

This wall flag has a tea-stained vintage effect printed into it, won’t crease or shrink thanks to the polyester material, and will last a long time. The flag measures 56" x 34.5". They are one-sided printed in the USA. Materials imported from Israel.

Dog Rope Toy
Color: Regular color
These dog rope toys are a great value, especially since several come in one pack. My dog is a black Labrador and a very aggressive chewer, so she goes through toys quickly. Each rope typically lasts her a few weeks to a month, which is impressive given how strong her bite is. She absolutely loves these and plays with them constantly. The ropes do eventually come apart, and once the braid starts to unravel, I make sure to throw them out to prevent her from swallowing any strands. That said, these toys are very effective at keeping her busy and away from chewing household items like pillows or sofa cushions—which is a much cheaper alternative! Overall, these are durable, affordable, and entertaining toys for strong chewers, as long as you supervise your dog during playtime.

Cane Corso Approved (Eventually Destroyed)
Color: Regular color
I bought the Forfon Tough & Strong Dog Toy for Aggressive Chewers for my Cane Corsos — and if you know Corsos, you know they don’t “chew.” They conduct demolition projects. First impression? Solid. Thick material, strong stitching, felt durable in hand. I actually had hope. Dangerous, I know. For about two weeks, this toy held its own. Tug sessions? Survived. Full jaw clamp tests? Passed. Backyard wrestling matches? Still standing. Then… week three happened. Let’s just say my dogs eventually discovered its weakness and turned it into modern art. But honestly? For aggressive chewers of this size and strength, lasting two weeks is basically a gold medal performance. Pros: ✔ Truly tougher than most toys we’ve tried ✔ Kept my dogs entertained ✔ Withstood serious chewing pressure Cons: • Not indestructible (especially against Cane Corso-level jaws) • Eventually surrendered to persistence If you have medium to strong chewers, this will probably last a long time. If you have giant, determined jaw athletes like mine, expect a respectable lifespan — not immortality. 4 stars because nothing survives forever in this house… but this one fought bravely. 🐶💪
