Following the actions at Lexington and Concord in 1775, one of the first
issues the second Continental Congress faced when it convened that May 10 was
how to gather the funds necessary to prosecute a war. The colonies had only
recently retired their debt for the French and Indian war--there was
approximately the equivalent of $12 million circulating (in specie and paper
money) in the entire country; the Continental Congress had no power to raise
revenue through taxes; and had no credit on which to borrow money. Given this
situation, the Congress initially raised funds in the only manner possible, by
printing bills of credit. Each colony was requested to levy taxes in support of
the war effort, with the revenue to go to the Board of Treasury to cover the
interest on the bills and create a sinking fund to retire them. As legislative
powers were claimed by both British and colonial/state agents to the confusion
of all, and with the states lacking the framework for collecting taxes,
Congress received very little in the way of revenue from the states during the
course of the war.
After the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783 ending the Revolutionary War,
Congress found itself saddled with almost $8 million in foreign and $42+
million in domestic debt--and without direct powers of taxation as a means to
repay the war debt. Of the $8 million requisitioned from the states in 1782,
only $420,031 had been repaid by January 1783. Although the individual states
often assumed their share of the national debt, paying interest due on bills
and certificates issued to their citizens through the Continental Loan Offices,
it was clear to Superintendent of Finance Robert Morris that only revenue
powers under a national government would allow the fledgling nation to retire
its public debt. Lacking that, however, Morris worked tirelessly to settle the
domestic debt, so that in 1782, Congress began to liquidate its accounts with
individuals who had not already settled with their respective state treasurers.
Commissioners for each state inspected and assigned a value to all claims and
issued interest-bearing final settlement certificates.
Continued deterioration of the nation’s finances, culminating in tax revolts
like Shays’s Rebellion, along with a growing acceptance that the remedy lay in
amending the financial provisions of the Articles of Confederation, ultimately
led to the Constitutional Convention. With the ratification of the U.S.
Constitution in 1789, Congress was finally able to impose and collect taxes to
fund the common defense and debts of the United States. In 1790, Alexander
Hamilton proposed a new plan to fund the national debt. Rather than pay it off,
he recommended the consolidation of old debts into new securities (stocks) with
public revenues specifically pledged to pay their interest. Subscribers to
these certificates of federal debt received a 6% stock issue, interest starting
in 1791 and payable quarterly, equal to 2/3 the principal due. The final 1/3
came in the form of another 6% certificate of deferred interest that would
start in 1801. Another stock certificate of 3% covered the interest due from
December 31, 1789 to December 31, 1794. Hamilton’s plan was ultimately a
success, and what remained of the domestic war debt was paid off by individual
states establishing sinking funds to retire any outstanding debt certificates.
This collection consists of receipts and loan certificates for Revolutionary
War debt received and issued by Nathaniel Appleton, Continental loan officer
for the state of Massachusetts, from 1786 to 1792. The collection primarily
consists of documents for the 1790 loan program created by Hamilton, but also
contains certificates and receipts from earlier loan programs.
