ARP222 Congress 1779 - Mo Money, Mo Problems
Manage episode 304791664 series 2424022
The Continental Congress uses 1779 to debate the terms of a peace treaty or compensation for the army. They have difficulty reaching any consensus. At the same time, Congress continues to emit paper Continental dollars which no one wants to accept. The ensuing inflation threatens to bring down the economy and the war effort.
