Why was the Continental Congress hesitant to tax American citizens to finance the war?

History

Mariana [72]3 years ago
4 0

When the Continental Congress wrote the Articles of Confederation, they did not want to enforce taxes on the new states because they did not want to be like Britain. The Articles of Confederation granted the states the right to tax if they wanted to, however it was not a federal law that the federal government tax the states. Given the fact that the states could choose if they wanted to tax or not, it is not surprising that they chose not to tax, causing the United States to go further into debt. This is also one of the main reasons why the Articles of Confederation failed. The debt led them to over print money which led to inflation and also the fact that there was no national currency (each state could make their own money) really helped.

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The correct option is D

The Industrial Revolution or First Industrial Revolution is the process of economic, social and technological transformation that began in the second half of the 18th century in the Kingdom of Great Britain, which spread a few decades later to a large part of Western Europe and Anglo-Saxon America, and that it concluded between 1820 and 1840.

From this moment on, a transition began that would end centuries of labor based on manual labor and the use of animal traction, being replaced by machinery for industrial manufacture and for the transport of goods and passengers. This transition began towards the end of the 18th century in the textile industry, as well as in the extraction and use of coal. The expansion of trade was possible thanks to the development of communications, with the construction of railways, canals, and roads. The transition from a mainly agricultural economy to an industrial economy greatly influenced the population, which experienced rapid growth, especially in the urban sphere.

Answer:

B. They took advantage of the political and economic chaos in the South after the Civil War
