John Fries' Rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (353 words)
John Fries' Rebellion, also called the House Tax Rebellion, the Home Tax Rebellion or the Hot-Water Rebellion (Blitz Wasser in Pennsylvania Dutch because hot water was used to drive tax assessors from houses), was an armed tax revolt led by a Pennsylvania farmer between 1799 and 1800.
John Fries (1764-1825) was born in Pennsylvania of German descent in about 1764.
Fries and two others were twice tried for treason (the second time before Samuel Chase) and were sentenced to be hanged, but they were pardoned by President John Adams in April 1800, and a general amnesty was issued on May 21, 1800.
