Alexander Hamilton was appointed as the first ever secretary of Treasury by President Washington. He changed and largely developed the economy by proposing a National Bank among other things. He encouraged nationalism and production within America. Debts were to be paid off whether they were domestically or internationally from the war and war bonds. Hamilton got acts passed for paying off foreign debt, redeeming domestic debts, assuming the states debts (since many states before the Constitution did not pay the federal government) and increasing tariffs. He also had a tax on distilled drinks (like whiskey) processed in Congress. (Excise At of 1791) I hope that helps.
Answer: The series of acts passed by Parliament during the 1760s and 1770s is what initially sparked the unrest that led to the American Revolution. The acts regulated trade and commerce in the colonies and were passed to help pay off the debt that the British government had incurred during the French and Indian War. The colonies resented the acts and felt they were a blatant attempt to make money off the colonies. Since the colonists were unable to vote on the Parliamentary officials who passed the acts, they felt they were being taxed unfairly, hence the colonist’s motto: No taxation without representation!
