Original Note:
The United States settled its debts with France in 1795, through a series of transactions with private parties, but mostly through a financier named James Swan. The debts were then resold in the public markets & the US no longer owed France money. https://history.state.gov/milestones/1784-1800/loans https://gratefulamericanfoundation.org/who-paid-off-the-2024899-u-s-national-debt-today/
