Calhoun on State debts assumption report in Senate
In the Senate on February 5, 1840 Calhoun argues the lands distribution plan to fund state debts amounts to an indirect debt assumption. He warns it would require higher import duties, strain old and new states, and destabilize the economy. He analyzes fiscal, political, and constitutional risks, including credit revival and tariff conflicts.
