This article examines the history, current state, and key lessons for investors. --- Part I. Birth of a Debt Republic — The Historical Origins of U.S. Debt --- 1) The Revolutionary War and Early Debt — A Nation Born in Debt America’s debt problem did not begin in modern times; it has been a structural reality since the nation’s founding. In 1776, during the Revolutionary War, the fledgling United States had no stable tax system, no central bank, and no developed capital markets.
