    Description

    his is an original document dated 1795, where Robert Blaine has paid a soldier 0 in full for services rendered the United Sates on the Western Expedition against the insurgents....signed by recipient. Document is 3x6, folds, mild wrinkles, else a scarce document in any form.
    In January 1791, President George Washington's Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton proposed a seemingly innocuous excise tax "upon spirits distilled within the United States, and for appropriating the same." What Congress failed to predict was the vehement rejection of this tax by Americans living on the frontier of Western Pennsylvania. By 1794, the Whiskey Rebellion threatened the stability of the nascent United States and forced President Washington to personally lead the United States militia westward to stop the rebels.
