The main reason why the money issued by the continental congress of little value was because it wasn't "backed" by anything real such as gold. Plus, this government had practically no credit.

The correct answer is:

The money did not have enough gold and silver to back it up.

During the American Revolution, the colonies and the Continental Congress issued paper money, known as Continental currency, to fund the war effort. This bills of credit were usually flat money, meaning they could not be exchanged for a fixed amount of gold or silver coins upon demand. When too many were issued, inflation resulted in the depreciation of that money.

Georgia,

British artist Thomas Addison Richards painted River Plantation (1855-60) from sketches made in Georgia during his travels through the South in the 1840s. Oil on canvas (20 1/4" x 30").

River Plantation

uniquely situated among southern states on the eve of the Civil War (1861-65), played a vital part in the formation of the Confederacy. A geographic lynchpin that linked Atlantic seaboard and Deep South states, the "Empire State" was the second-largest state in area east of the Mississippi River (Virginia was larger until West Virginia broke away in 1861), and the second-largest Deep South state (only Texas was larger). In population, slave and free, Georgia was the largest in the Deep South. Both geographically and demographically, Georgia encompassed as much diversity as any other Confederate state, and these factors had an important impact on how the state experienced the war years and what it contributed to the Southern war effort.

Why did many former slaves enter into sharecropping contracts that were designed to keep them poor?
Tatiana [17]
Many former salves expected the federal government to give them a certain amount of land as compensation for all the work they had done during the slave era. During Reconstruction, however, the conflict over labor resulted in the sharecropping system, in which black families would rent small plots of land in return for a portion of their crop, to be given to the landowner at the end of each year.
