Answer 2

Answer: the correct answer is D. The debt held by states and individuals.

Explanation: The United States might have emerged from the Revolutionary War victorious, but economically it was in financial problems. The tension of a long and expensive war had exhausted both state treasuries and private wealth. Both the new national government ($54 million) and the states ($21 million) were left with huge war debts, chiefly to foreign powers such as France.
