Did Hamilton believe in regards to the debt the states accumulated from fighting the Revolutionary War?
Since the states were fighting to obtain the independence of a new nation, Hamilton believed it should be the federal government's obligation to assume and pay off all the debts, at face value, the states obtained as a result of the Revolutionary War. Many Southern states had already paid their debts and some of the bonds issued by the Continental Congress and states were considered worthless to many that had lent the Congress and states money. Speculators had been buying up the bonds for pennies on the dollar in the hope that the government would redeem them at face value. Hamilton argued that even if such speculators made money, the fact that the government paid off the debts would impress European nations and convince them we would be an economically stable nation and would honor our commercial agreements.
Why didnt the government supply enough food and equipment to the continental army?
The states had the responsibility to determine how the clothing, food, and other financial aspects were to be paid for the Continental Army soldiers. These states disagreed on how the money to pay for these obligations would be obtained leaving shortages on supplies, shelter, clothing, and other necessities for the soldiers. Congress did not have the power to raise taxes to pay for them.
