Second, it is seldom mentioned that US federal debt at the time (around $40 million) was much larger than that of the states (about $18 million). Thus, assuming state debt was not central to the success of post-war financial stabilization in the new country; rather, it was a natural corollary of the fact that most of the debt had been incurred fighting for a common cause.
其次，很少被提及的是，当时美国联邦债务（约4000万美元）比各州债务（约1800万美元）多得多。因此，将州债务揽下并不是美国独立战争后实现金融稳定性的中心原因，相反，这只是大部分债务起源于为统统目标而战这一事实的自然结果。
