Excerpt from Sim Greene: A Narrative of the Whisky Insurrection, Being a Setting Forth of the Memoirs of the Late David Froman, Esq. The part played by the Whisky Insurrection in south western Pennsylvania, in the last decade of the Eighteenth Century, is hardly estimated by the average American at its true importance. The general his tories dismiss it with a few brief paragraphs. The government of the people and by the people was young, and men's relation to it was not SO generally nor so well understood then as it is now. The world had been electrified by the French Revolution, and the in¿uence Of the ideas dominant in it was most sensibly felt in America at that time. This insurrection of the people Of the then far west was a real menace to the integrity of the young republic, and even threatened its very existence, with all of human weal wrapped up with it.
