Best Answer

There was no money in circulation. Money at that time meant coins of precious metals - gold, silver or copper. Coins of many nations circulated in the colonies, and for decades after, but these were hard to come by. Coins were "hard money" and landowners had to have hard money to pay their yearly real estate taxes to the county where they lived. Most people were in debt, and they could be locked up by the county sheriff in jail if they could not pay their debts. Trade was mostly done by barter, and people would have to give extra goods to trade for actual hard money to pay their taxes, so the county would not put them off their land. The national government had no power to tax, and so was completely broke and had no money to do anything.
