During the ARW, the Continental Congress had borrowed a lot of money to pay for the war.

After the war, the US form a Federal Government which started paying off the debt.

Say the British won the ARW, after the congress had collected a large amount of debt.

Who pays it off? I know a lot of it were from Dutch and other European Banks, which were extremely powerful. Since they are the 13 colonies again, they can't pay of any debt because they have no authority to.

Would the British take up the claims? Someone has to pay it. Would they force taxes on the colonies to make up for it?
