The End of Salutary Neglect

Abstract: Abstract In English eyes the revenue question was simple. The British debt was staggering; the American debt insignificant. Englishmen paid high taxes; Americans low taxes. Much of the British debt had been acquired defending the colonies from the French, and now the territory to guard and administer had been enlarged by the recent [French and Indian] war. Therefore, tax revenues from the colonies must be increased (Charles Akers cited in D. Davis, Religion and the Continental Congress, 1774–1789 (Oxford University Press, 2000), p. 39).
