<ul><li>{{#tip-text:Report on the Public Credit|in 1790-91, Hamilton issued three reports to Congress recommending laws and policies designed to reduce the War debts, grow the economy, and protect national industry; his 1790 "Report on the Public Credit" outlined the extent of US debt, held mostly by private Americans but also foreigners. Hamilton proposed that the federal government "assume" or buy this debt and establish a system for managing "public credit" and paying off the debts; the existing holders of the debt were set to profit enormously from the scheme, which led to much opposition, and which was the first serious political split in the new country; a compromise was made in 1790 to settle the new Capitol, Washington, DC, in the South (between Maryland and Virginia) in exchange for southern support (northern states held more War debt) of Hamilton's plan to "assume" the debts}}</ul></li> | |||
