The AOC (Articles of Confederation) really limited the power of Congress. They could not...
• Collect Taxes
• Conduct foreign policy
• Could not enforce laws
There were many other problems with the AOC as well. A huge one was that it was practically impossible to amend; all 13 states needed to unanimously agree on a change. Given the rivalry between the States, and the fact that Rhode Island hardly showed up for anything, it would be impossible to fix the AOC.
Congress also could not pay off the national debt. The US owed a whole lot of money after fighting the war. However, due to the fact that Congress couldn’t collect taxes, the government had to print more money which caused massive problems with the economy.
I hope you found this interesting! Good luck!!
It was England that was the birth place of the Industrial Revolution, mostly due to the availability of manpower and resources. The Industrial Revolution quickly spread to the US however.
President Truman had the CIA train over 3000 Cuban exiles to overthrow Castro. Before the invasion, Kennedy took over office and approved it. The invasion failed miserably. In under 90 hours, over 2000 of the exiles were captured and the rest were killed. Kennedy denied to give them air support because he didn't want any US soldiers involved because it would start a war with Cuba and possibly provoke the Soviet Union. President Kennedy had the captured exiles released for a price of food and resources.
