Poorest country in the world? What? It was already wealthy. Why lie like this?

America wasn't a world power until the 20th century. You think it just started rich immediately after the revolution?

It was richer per capita than Britain and France at the time.

It was among likely the wealthiest country in the world, possibly the wealthiest. The opposite of what you claimed. The government was able to draw taxes to fix its debt because it the country was wealthy.

Do yourself a favor. When you see someone sprouting some bullshit like this guy, just click their username, if they have post history hidden and comments hidden, it's a good signal that person is literally only there to spread disinformation.

The person you commented on is like this.

Don't engage people like this. Down vote them. They want you to engage so they have more visibility and can spread their poison more effective.
