Embarrassed finances in Massachusetts in 1843 debate
In the Massachusetts House on January 26 1843 the debate over the governors message and Leonard of Westfield amendments to Kinnicutt’s order on treasury information highlights a $53026358 debt burden. Speakers question sources for debt relief, discuss selling railroad stock and scrip at discounts, and urge direct taxation amid suspected credit weakness and political risk.
