We had originated from Britain and the French had helped us in our war, therefore if we borrowed from one country, the other would catch on and turn on us. The government couldn’t tax its citizens, for taxation had always backfired in the past. Because of these money issues, John Adams decided not to join the war. Another reason why Adams didn’t join the war was due to the nation’s confusion as to which side to defend. America was alr .....
