Whiskey Rebellion in Maryland ended
Document 1794Governor of Maryland gleefully informs Secretary Hamilton that the Whiskey Rebels in Maryland have been "entirely crushed without the loss of one life." According to Governor Lee, the "alacrity" of the State militia and the "general spirit" of the citizens in support of the State discouraged the "Insurgents" and induced them to abandon their attack on the arsenal "without a trial of their strength." Some of the rebels have been placed in jail; others have been admitted bail. Governor Lee looks forward to "restoring the peace and order of the government in that Quarter." Announces that the State militia will now march to Cumberland to fight the rebels there.
