Whiskey Rebellion Flag – 1790s American Protest Banner | 3×5 Ft Heavy Duty Double Nylon Embroidered Outdoor Flag
The Whiskey Rebellion Flag symbolizes the first significant civil uprising against the newly formed U.S. government. Featuring 13 stars encircling a soaring eagle gripping a red and white striped banner, this flag was flown by frontier rebels resisting federal overreach in the 1790s.
In 1791, under the directive of Alexander Hamilton, the federal government imposed an excise tax on distilled spirits—a move deeply unpopular among rural distillers in Western Pennsylvania. Seen as a betrayal of Revolutionary ideals, many viewed the whiskey tax as unjust and eerily similar to British taxation. The result? The Whiskey Rebellion (1791–1794), where tax collectors were met with organized resistance, and even tarred and feathered by angry citizens.
The flag emerged during this period as an icon of defiance—a bold statement against centralized government control and unjust taxation. Though short-lived, the symbol endures as a historic reminder of early American resistance.
