The History

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" and "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.

Wash before wearing — the dye will run
Size: Small, Color: Royal Blue
Make sure you wash this shirt before wearing. Maybe even two washes. The color WILL run and dye your skin. (I was impatient and wore it before washing and ended up with a blue torso) Otherwise, it fits well. I’d put it as a regular fit rather than a slim fit. Very soft, albeit synthetic, material.

Good Fit but too long
Size: Medium, Color: Army Green
I would give these shirts a 5 star rating if they weren’t so long over the waist, even a medium sized it doesn’t matter way too long

A T-shirt chic? YES!!
Size: X-Large, Color: Wine Red
This is the second one of these shirts I’ve ordered. I don’t wear ties anymore, so I actually wear this mock turtle neck under a blazer, or a sports coat as my father used to call them. I wore a blue one the other evening and I wore it underneath a plaid blazer. Whoever would guess a T-shirt could be quite so chic. It stretches plenty, it’s light and it’s so comfortable. I have two of them now and I’m deciding on a third one.
