Nisbet also discusses the Whiskey Rebellion and describes the impact of the militia that assembled in Carlisle. "We have had a great Army here which has almost eaten us up," as Nisbet explains. Nisbet also offers political commentary on the French Revolution, whether the United States should have a standing army, and local elections. Transcript included.
