The purpose of having the Government assume the debts of the States was to show the citizens and the world, that the US Government was going to be economically sound and because the states had fought for every state's independence from Britain, not just their individual state. Southern States opposed the plan because by the time of Washington's inauguration, the Southern States had already paid off their debts.
