I'm aware of Hamilton and his schemes, but I have to disagree. The debt was neither crippling nor deciding. Patsy leaders and tremendous fear mongering in a time incessant European imperial intervention led people to sign into a loose confederation of mutual protection.
That document was discarded 8 years later by a group who wanted to set up a dictatorship, being the Federalists, Hamilton included.
It's hard to hold someone to a debt in an economic system that has no strong centralized control and bears only a fledgling existence anyway.
Just as with the EU, the corruption of men who lead, and fear mongering to a populous to overthrow those who might oppose you and a time honored manner of conquest.
I'm sure you've been in debt, or had someone call you up and claim a debt, and your instinctive reaction was not to offer yourself up as chattel to them.
That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.
