Yet few federal convictions for treason have occurred in American history. Here are some of the incidents of people convicted for treason against the United States, and some who managed to elude justice for their arguably treasonous acts. During the first administration of George Washington , Pennsylvania farmers and distillers rose in protest against a tax on distilled spirits. For many years farmers distilled excess grain including corn, rye, and wheat into what was then called American whiskey, and their resistance to taxation of their product led the revolt to become known as the Whiskey Rebellion , which grew to the point that President Washington mobilized the army out of militia provided by several states, and donned his old uniform to lead it against the rebels as Commander in Chief.
It was the only time in American history that the President of the United States appeared in uniform while executing the duties of his office.
