Two linked corrections: migration legend is unsupported, and industrialization was not a smooth or inevitable one-step transition.
Veach uses tax licenses and the Hope Distillery case to separate persistent farm production from a failed early industrial experiment.
Kentucky distilling was established before the Whiskey Rebellion, and rebels fled south rather than creating the Kentucky industry. The large steam-powered Hope Distillery then failed by 1820 while local consumers continued to favor pot-still whiskey, showing that early scale and imported European methods did not automatically fit the market.
