There was actually a surplus in the economy during Andrew Jackson's presidency when he paid it all off.
The two new groups of people that became part of the Virginia colonies after the year 1619 was the Africans and Women in which after this year, they became part of them as the Africans are the first group who have set foot in the continent of North America.
The first reason why the Colonists were there was to either restart their life or to get away from British taxing. When they showed up again to make order they took control of the government and started to tax people(intolerable Acts). The colonists wanted no British presence.
