1. According to the Pennsylvania Packet of 25 February, a schooner from Grenada exchanged shots in Delaware Bay with “three refugee boats.” Two days later an item in the same newspaper told of looting, burning, and physical violence to residents by one band of “refugees” led by British officers from New York City, and another band of “pirates” in mid-February at Thoroughfare Point on Duck Creek, Bombay Hook, and elsewhere along the coast of New Castle County, Del. The anonymous author of the account stated that citizens of the state “lament the want of protection by water” because the raiders “threaten to lay our farms and stores in ashes.”

2. The Virginia Gazette of 1 March 1783 published the letter of an unnamed correspondent stating that during the last two weeks of February “eleven bay and river crafts have been captured, and many of the people on shore plundered and the rest kept in perpetual dread. We pay chearfully every tax laid upon us, and think it cruel that we cannot be protected from the insults and ravages of a handful of refugees, in a small sloop and a few whale boats.” The writer wished to know what had become of the Virginia ship of war “Liberty,” which had been ordered to cruise in Chesapeake Bay “for the protection of the trade and inhabitants on the shores and rivers thereof.” See also McIlwaine, Official Letters description begins H.

14. For a summary of Robert Morris’ “preceding letter” of 24 January, see JM Notes, 24 Jan., and nn. 20, 23. In his letter of 26 February, Morris emphasized that the creditors with whom he had “contracted engagements” as superintendent of finance were entitled to know of his intention to resign on 31 May. Besides complying immediately with his request, Congress referred both of his letters to a committee, John Rutledge, chairman (NA: PCC, No. 186, fol. 85; JCC description begins Worthington Chauncey Ford et al., eds., Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774–1789 (34 vols.; Washington, 1904–37). description ends , XXIV, 151, 284–85; JM Notes, 27 Feb; 4–5 Mar; JM to Randolph, 4 Mar. 1783; E. James Ferguson, Power of the Purse, p. 169).

15. JM wrote this long footnote in spaces of varying sizes in the lower portions of nine pages of the manuscript of his notes on debates. The upper portion of the first of these pages was devoted to the main text of his notes for 26 February, of the second page to the rest of that text and also to the beginning of that for the next day, and of the other pages to the balance of his notes for 27 February 1783.

This summary, besides recalling JM’s résumé of 1 May 1782 about the perplexing Vermont issue, is a source of his memorandum on a revenue plan, ca. 6 March 1783 (q.v.). See also Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , IV, 200–202. To clarify his thoughts about a complex matter, to be of service to his successor in Congress, and to have a record of value in the event that he should prepare a history of the Revolution, were probably among the reasons why JM wrote the footnote. See Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , V, 232–34.

In this summary JM stressed three of the four chief points embodied in his report on restoring public credit, 6 March (q.v.). Within a week after writing his footnote, JM concluded that he had misjudged the viewpoint of several of the state delegations toward one or more of the principal recommendations of the plan. See Memo. on a Revenue Plan, 6 Mar. JM’s report, as adopted in modified form on 18 April, was the last important attempt by Congress to persuade the states to endow the Confederation with sufficient economic power to survive (JM Notes, 18 Apr. 1783, and n. 7).

For examples of these “expences,” see JM Notes, 31 Jan., and n. 4; JM to Randolph, 25 Feb. 1783 and citations in n. 6. JM appears to have originated the proposal to have Congress assume most of the war-connected debts of the states, even though in 1790 he would oppose a similar recommendation by Hamilton. By then, however, the situation had much changed. See Clarence L. Ver Steeg, Robert Morris, pp. 175, 249, n. 32.

19. That is, if Congress were granted the exclusive authority to levy an impost duty, the trade of New Hampshire to the extent that it did not center at Portsmouth would be spared the imposts levied by Massachusetts and other states. New Hampshire had been among the first, and Massachusetts among the last, of the thirteen states to ratify the impost amendment proposed by Congress on 3 February 1781 (Burnett, Letters description begins Edmund C. Burnett, ed., Letters of Members of the Continental Congress (8 vols.; Washington, 1921–36). description ends , VI, 372, n. 4).

20. New Hampshire, having no claim to territory west of the Appalachian Mountains, naturally would benefit from sharing in the possession of that area if it should be ceded to Congress by the states with “sea to sea” charters.

21. The “Statement” is at the close of JM’s present footnote. Although New Hampshire or her citizens held few loan-office certificates, they owned a considerable amount of continental paper currency (Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , V, 323, n. 8).

22. For the large debt, including many loan-office certificates, owed by Congress to Massachusetts or her citizens, see the table closing this footnote of JM’s; also Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , V, 323, nn. 3, 8; JM Notes, 17 Feb., n. 1; JM to Randolph, 25 Feb. 1783. A detachment of the British army, which had established a post at the mouth of the Penobscot River in the summer of 1778, was still there. In July and August 1779 an expedition of Massachusetts militia and ships against the British stronghold along the Penobscot River in the district of Maine had been a most costly “Catastrophe.” In his letters of 2 and 21 September 1779 to John Jay, president of Congress, Jeremiah Powell, president of the council of Massachusetts, emphasized that the treasury of the Confederation should reimburse the state for the expense of the operation, totaling some $7,000,000, since it had been undertaken with the hope “of great good accruing to the United States” (NA: PCC, No. 65, I, 404, 412; II, 27, 35, 53). During the next decade Massachusetts often, but unsuccessfully, with the exception of a warrant for $2,000,000 issued to her by Congress on 8 April 1780, sought to have this claim satisfied (JCC description begins Worthington Chauncey Ford et al., eds., Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774–1789 (34 vols.; Washington, 1904–37). description ends , XVI, 341–42). For these reasons, it was to Massachusetts’ financial “interest” to oppose “abatements.”

23. See the table at close of JM’s present footnote. Between “loans” and “interest” JM canceled “does not materially.” Partly because Rhode Island derived so much income from “taxing the commerce” of Connecticut, she had refused to ratify the proposed impost amendment to the Articles of Confederation (Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , V, 289; 291, n. 9; JM Notes, 29 Jan., and n. 28; 12 Feb., n. 6; 19 Feb., and n. 5; 20 Feb. 1783, and n. 14). See also Memo. on Revenue Plan, 6 Mar. 1783, ed. n.

24. Although for the following reason, JM seemed warranted in assuming that “in most instances” Rhode Island would oppose “making a common mass of expences,” he soon decided that this conclusion needed to be modified. See Memo. on Revenue Plan, 6 Mar. 1783, ed. n. In the autumn of 1777 and late in the summer of the next year, the British armed forces, which occupied Newport and the rest of the island of Rhode Island from December 1776 to October 1779, repulsed attempts to dislodge them. In contrast with the Penobscot expedition of Massachusetts, these fiascoes primarily involved continental troops, although Rhode Island militia participated. For this reason, Congress unhesitatingly assumed the cost (JCC description begins Worthington Chauncey Ford et al., eds., Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774–1789 (34 vols.; Washington, 1904–37). description ends , VII, 124; VIII, 661–62; IX, 975–76; X, 46–47, 290; XI, 645–47, 758–61). The delegates in Congress from Rhode Island were among the most insistent that states with claims to trans-Appalachian territory should cede it to the United States (Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , III, 74–75; IV, 35, n. 9; 201; 221, n. 11; V, 200; 201, n. 8; 246, n. 10; 375, n. 15).

25. JM Notes, 29 Jan., and n. 28; 8 Feb., n. 3; 25 Feb. 1783, and nn. 1, 2, 11. JM evidently believed that, although Connecticut had suffered severely from British raids, she would be little helped by “abatements,” for she had not been a main theater of war (Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , III, 258; 260, n. 3; 271; 272, n. 1).

Having suffered severely during the Revolution both from frequent invasions of her “upstate” by the enemy and its Indian allies and from the British occupation of New York City and its environs ever since August 1776, New York naturally would be “deeply interested” in abatements.

37. See table at close of this long footnote by JM. In 1787, Delaware was not only the first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States but also one of the three states (New Jersey and Georgia, the other two) to ratify it unanimously. “The only battle of the American Revolution on Delaware soil” was a “spirited little affair” on 5 September 1777 at Cooch’s Bridge “on the upper waters of the Christina” River (Christopher L. Ward, The Delaware Continentals, 1776–1783 [Wilmington, Del., 1941], pp. 190–92, 499–501). Because her war-caused property loss had been small, Delaware naturally opposed “abatements.” For her wish to share in “the vacant territory” west of the Appalachian Mountains, see Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , II, 74–75; IV, 200–201; V, 200; 201, n. 8; 242, n. 8; 246, n. 10.

The Maryland General Assembly had long hesitated to ratify the proposed impost amendment to the Articles of Confederation (Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , IV, 220; 221, n. 11; 389, n. 16). During most of January and February 1783 Daniel Carroll was Maryland’s only delegate in Congress. As chairman of the committee of the whole, he appears to have shared infrequently in the debates on financial issues. Although he had favored providing Congress with a general revenue, he had opposed “abatements” to states which had been main theaters of the war (JCC description begins Worthington Chauncey Ford et al., eds., Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774–1789 (34 vols.; Washington, 1904–37). description ends , XXIV, 114–16, 126–27). Maryland had been more inflexible than any other state in opposing the claim of Virginia to territory west and northwest of the Ohio River (Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , II, 54, n. 3; 74–77; 100–101; 300; 301, n. 4; III, 283, n. 6; 304; 305, n. 2; IV, 131, n. 2; 179, nn. 7, 8; 200–201; 221, n. 11; 340; V, 50; 200; 201, n. 8; 246, n. 10; 378, n. 5).

Especially in 1779, 1780, and 1781, the war had been very costly to Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, in money disbursed and in the value of destroyed property and lost slaves. Consequently, these states would benefit if the war expenses of all the states were merged into a “common mass” and equitably apportioned among them. In view of the charter claims of Virginia to the Old Northwest and her outlay of “blood and treasure” during the Revolution in seeking to drive British troops out of that area, she reasonably could expect her “sacrifice” for ceding the territory to the United States to appear conspicuously on the credit side of her ledger when a financial accounting with the Confederation should be made. Although these were weighty considerations, JM soon would be less positive that he had correctly assessed the interest of Virginia in regard to “abatements.” See Memo. on Revenue Plan, 6 Mar. 1783, ed. n.

The western lands claimed by South Carolina were “inconsiderable” in area as compared with those of Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia (Papers of Madison description begins William T.

As “enemies of every kind,” JM could have cited Indians, European powers, and even the other American states, if the Confederation should dissolve.

43. JM to Randolph, 25 Feb. 1783, and n. 16. Georgia’s interest in “abatements” reflected the presence of enemy troops on her soil from December 1778 to July 1782 (Papers of Madison description begins William T. Hutchinson, William M. E. Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , I, 271, n. 2; IV, 440, n. 5). According to the charter of June 1732 granted to twenty trustees, the western limits of the colony of Georgia were “the south seas” (ibid., IV, 203, n. 16). Even by confining those limits to the Mississippi River, Georgia’s “article of territory” was of immense extent and, except for a narrow strip, not overlapped by the claim of any other state. Burdened with a large war debt in proportion to her small population, and menaced by Indians, and perhaps by the Spanish in Florida and Louisiana, Georgia naturally would favor a strong confederation (n. 37) and the merger of her liabilities “in a common mass” (n. 40).

Rachal, et al., eds., The Papers of James Madison (6 vols. to date; Chicago, 1962——). description ends , II, 73; 77; 197, n. 4; III, 226, n. 13; IV, 9; 15, nn. 13, 14; 17, n. 30; 201; V, 115; 118, n. 13; JM Notes, 14 Jan. 1783, n. 9.

44. For “the rule” adopted by Congress on 17 February 1783, see JM Notes, 17 Feb. 1783, and n. 1; JCC description begins Worthington Chauncey Ford et al., eds., Journals of the Continental Congress, 1774–1789 (34 vols.; Washington, 1904–37). description ends , XXIV, 135–37. This “rule” required each state to count its inhabitants, “distinguishing white from black,” but did provide for differentiating freemen and slaves when apportioning a financial requisition among the states. A two-for-one ratio apparently had not been suggested during the debates about what the “rule” should be. John Rutledge expressed regret that the Articles of Confederation barred an allocation of financial quotas solely on the basis of a census, with “certain qualifications as to Slaves.” JM and probably most delegates from southern states were of the same mind. Oliver Wolcott favored amending the Articles of Confederation to authorize a census base of apportionment, counting Negroes only between sixteen and sixty years of age. Robert Morris recommended the levying of a poll tax payable by all freemen and all male slaves in that same age bracket. JM also favored a poll tax, “rating blacks somewhat lower than whites” (JM Notes, 14 Jan.; 28 Jan., and nn. 35, 42; 11 Feb., and n. 4; Randolph to JM, 7 Feb. 1783, n. 3). See also Memo. on Revenue Plan, 6 Mar. 1783, ed. n.

46. With a covering letter of 10 March, Robert Morris, superintendent of finance, submitted to Congress an analysis of the Confederation debt as of 1 January 1783 (Randolph to JM, 15 Jan. 1783, n. 13; NA: PCC, No. 137, II, 199, 205). Although JM clearly took most of his entries from an advance copy of that list or from the ledger entries upon which it was based, he made one mistake in transcribing and probably found his figures for New Hampshire and Connecticut in a source or sources unknown to the present editors. His own column of figures adds to $11,219,367.80.7 rather than $11,437,410.80.7. Almost all of the discrepancy results from his omission of Georgia, from attributing the sum for that state to South Carolina, and from overlooking the South Carolina total of $218,042.48.3. Adding this amount to $11,219,367.80.7 produces $11,437,410.29, or only about 50 cents less than his own total. Robert Morris’ entry for New Hampshire was $300,092.30, for Connecticut, $1,269,677.43, and his total was $11,400,485.64. 1/8.
