This book is a record of events from 1842 in the State of Illinois, primarily focusing on the stateâs financial struggles and the attempts of Governor Ford to remedy the situation. At the time of publication, the state was carrying an enormous debt from an expansive, poorly executed, and ill-conceived program of internal state improvements. Guided by the idea that selling bonds would cover the costs of these improvements without need for taxing the public, state leadership had instead created a situation where the state lacked the ability to make even the interest payments on that debt.
