Incomplete question. Here's the excerpt containing the sentence:
<em>"Because of its weakness, the Confederation government had trouble with financial issues. Continentals, paper bills the Continental Congress printed during the war, did not hold their value. By 1781, the currency had depreciated (dih • PREE • shee • ayt • ed), or fallen in value, so far that it was worth almost nothing. As more continentals appeared, people realized that Congress could not exchange or trade in the bills for gold or silver. </em><em><u>The public began to doubt the money was worth anything</u></em><em>. In 1779 it took 40 continentals to buy a single Spanish silver dollar. By 1781, a person needed 146 continentals to buy that Spanish coin. "Not worth a continental” became a common saying. At the same time, the price of food and other goods soared. In Boston and some other areas, high prices led to food riots."</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Meaning the money had very little value in the eyes of Americans at the time. Remember, from the paragraph we are told, "t<em>he currency had depreciated..., or fallen in value, so far that it was worth almost nothing," </em>furthermore we are told, "<em>In 1779 it took 40 continentals to buy a single Spanish silver dollar. By 1781, a person needed 146 continentals to buy that Spanish coin." </em>So in just two years (1779-1781), the currency had depreciated (or loss its value) by about 350%.
Abuse in power and oppression, unquestionably, leads to conflict. During the Currency Act of 1764, Great Britain started taxing all paper goods, and other everyday goods to the colonies. These taxes were unjust and not fair. Britain abused their power by forcing these taxes upon them without consent and/or their say in it. This leads to debt and angry people, which leads to riots and destruction. Upon that, the people took sides, some were ok with these acts, believing that they were fair. This created more conflict between the people of the colonies. Wars break out because of disagreements, which can also lead to more debt and anger. This cruel oppression also emerged the famous, well-known saying of "No Taxation without Representation". This meant that they didn't want to be taxed without representation in the British parliament. These are one of many ways that abuse in power and oppression leads to conflict.
