There was a recession when Nixon took office. He essentially came in and helped clean up the economy. To answer your question the condition, of the American economy, was poor.
The most important post war tax was the stamp act of 1765, causing everything that was made to have a stamp, confirming that the tax had been paid but was repealed because the colonists didn’t like it. More acts were made to raise revenue but colonists weren’t happy either. Lawyer John Dickinson argued that “taxation without representation was not allowed”. In return, the tea act was made to tax tea imported. The colonists thought the best way to protest the act was to turn away ships carrying tea. And in places like New York, they were able to do so, but not in Boston because the governor of Massachusetts did not allow for ships to be turned away. So the colonists dumped all the tea, also known as the Boston tea party. The British were angry at the Americans so they closed the harbor, town meetings were banned, etc. this increased resistance from both Massachusetts and Britain to which led the revolutionary war. Then shortly after, congress voted to separate from Great Britain and then two days later the declaration or independence was signed :)
