The War Debt Controversy refers to the debate surrounding the financial obligations incurred by the United States during and after the Revolutionary War. Many states had accumulated significant debts to fund the war effort, and there was disagreement over whether the federal government should assume these debts. This controversy was central to the establishment of a strong federal financial system and led to the assumption of state debts by the federal government as part of Alexander Hamilton's financial plan. The resolution of this issue ultimately contributed to the formation of political factions and the development of the American party system.
