Qualifications
The exact county count and comparative intensity rely on Slaughter's 1986 synthesis and should be corroborated before publication. Western Pennsylvania remained the center of the 1794 armed escalation.
Reasoning
Slaughter separates the geography of resistance from the government's tactical choice of where to concentrate legal and military power.
