Best Answer

The colonies did not have a strong central government or any means to levy and collect taxes. The individual colonies also had weak governments and since taxation was one of the causes of the revolution, it was politically very difficult to levy and collect taxes. Also many of the colonists lived almost at the subsistence level, so hard money was scarce. However, the war, like all wars, cost a lot of money and demanded immediate expenditures for several years. Therefore, the government borrowed a lot of money and printed paper money which was not backed up by anything but faith in the government to pay someday.

The financial crisis after the Revolutionary War was caused by the debt that had accumulated from the war itself. The U. S. owed millions of dollars to countries such as France.
