The Congress never did put its tottering finances on a sound footing, and its fiscal problems ultimately discredited the Articles of Confederation in the eyes of the nationalists, a loose partnership of congressmen, army officers, and public creditors who wanted to strengthen the Confederation at the expense of the states. The nationalists first began to organize in the dark days of 1780 and 1781, when inflation was rampant, the army was going unpaid, the Congress had ceased paying interest on the public debt, and war effort itself seemed in danger of collapsing. Stimulated by the crisis, the nationalists supported the superintendent of finance for the Confederation government. The superintendent sought to enrich national authority through bold program of financial and political reform.
