The United States would not indulge these "troublemakers." Minister of Justice Jennings Randolph immediately mobilized the militia to disperse the protest crowd.
The protesters did not offer much resistance, leaving when told. However, they made a circuit around the streets and ended up at the Federal Court's entrance, continuing to chant their slogans.
Well, one-third of these people were paid to act, which made them seem exceptionally "professional." They had planned their actions a week in advance, including strategies to maximize their influence and countermeasures for encounters with the militia.
Thus, even though Randolph deployed over a thousand militia and took strict precautions at all key departments in Philadelphia, he still couldn't extinguish the passionate enthusiasm of the protesters.
And the salaries of these "professionals" were funded by an organization called the "Association for the Relief of Wounded Veterans of the Independence War."
