Synopsis

Volumes XII and XIII of this documentary edition cover the first Congress's second session, from January to August 1790. Among other important issues in this critical period, Congress debated Hamilton's report on the public credit, federal assumption of state Revolutionary War debts, and antislavery petitions from Pennsylvania Quakers. This is a text of the debates using a variety of sources: stenographer Thomas Lloyd's shorthand notes, his Congressional Register and contemporary newspaper accounts.
