Floating the Mexican War loans was the greatest single endeavour of the American financial community during the 1840s. Under President Polk, the Treasury issued three loans totalling 49 000 000. Investment bankers enthusiastically marketed these treasury notes and bonds directly to the international investing public. Cummings argues that the successful financing of the American-Mexican War had a long-term beneficial effect on American financial institutions and markets. At home, the stability of the Independent Treasury was assured, and abroad, America's international credit standing was restored. Most importantly, the dealing of government issue by investment bankers was a decisive step towards modern public finance.Financial history (London, England) ;no. 7.Mexican War, 1846-1848United StatesFinanceFinance, PublicUnited StatesHistory1801-1861Mexican War, 1846-1848Finance.Finance, PublicHistory336.7309034336.7309034Cummings James W1879784MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910966494403321Towards modern public finance4493287UNINA
