Rhode Island Paper Money 1786 Debate and Aftermath
The piece recounts Rhode Island’s 1786 shift to paper money amid wartime debt, detailing the Specie and Paper money factions, the 100000 pound bank, mortgage-backed loans, and penalties for rejecting the currency. It notes staged devaluations, riots, court rulings, and mass buyouts, ending with social and moral critique of inflationist policy and its ruinous effects on citizens.
