How Alexander Hamilton Saved a Nation | What Would The Founders Think? “The circulation of confidence is better than the circulation of money.” James Monroe As Americans celebrated New Year’s Day in 1790, the new nation’s economy was teetering on the brink of collapse.
The cumulative debt of the states and nation was enormous, soldiers who had served in the Revolution hadn’t been paid, farm foreclosures were so rampant that mobs burned down courthouses, there was no national coin or currency, in many states inflation raged out of control, and international trade was near impossible because the nation had no credit.

During those years, the University of Kansas maintained an open enrollment policy in which all graduates from accredited Kansas high schools were admitted to the University.
Since the only history courses required by the State of Kansas at the secondary level were in American History, students enrolling for this course varied widely in their knowledge of the European past. Consequently, my lectures were both basic and episodic, concentrating on major events and topics that would prepare the students for further enrollments in Humanities courses and attempting to demonstrate that the study of History could be both useful and enjoyable.
