The immediate years after the Revolution saw much popular discontent and agitation. The economy of the new country was in disarray, with hard currency and commercial credit scarce. Public finances were also chaotic, and farmers were often squeezed between taxes that were required to be paid in hard money and the relative lack of such currency in circulation in rural areas.
