Fun fact: A song about the Whiskey Rebellion (entitled "One Last Ride," in which Washingon and Hamilton travel down to suppress the rebellion) was cut from Hamilton: An American Musical and parts were reworked into "One Last Time." There's still a reference to the Whiskey Rebellion in the first cabinet battle ("When Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky / Imagine what's gonna happen when you try to tax our whiskey?") Ogurisama posted... Didnt you Americans leave the UK to get rid of taxes? And to have more say in politics, such as our ability to own slaves, which Britain was starting to ban. Not so coincidentally the abolishment movement was starting in 1772. Of course, that's not the history they teach in schools because it just makes the Civil War look even stupider. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard! |
