Taxes are never popular and taxation was one of the complaints against the British that led to the revolution. Consequently the new revolutionary government found it very hard to levy and collect taxes. The Continental Congress had to rely on the individual states to collect revenue and pass it along to the central government. The war disrupted the economy and trade with Europe, so money was hard for individuals to come by.
