What was the tariff of 1816?

The tariff of 1816 was the first tariff passed in the United States. It was proposed by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Dallas to help American manufacturers. It was approved in 1816 and was to last only until 1820. Southern states opposed it because they sold their cotton in Great Britain.

How did the US promote the growth of American Industry?

By imposing a tariff (a tax) on imported goods. This was to make imported items more expensive than domestically produced ones. A high tariff was popular in the north, as protecting American jobs and making northern manufacturers wealthy. It was bitterly resented in the south. The south traded a lot with Europe, particularly France and England. Cotton was shipped directly from plantation docks to brokers in Europe, who sold the cotton on behalf of the planters, and then used the money to fill orders for goods, then shipped the goods back to the south. A high tariff made these items more expensive. The quality of European goods was often superior to the American equivalent, and they were often cheaper, before the tariff was added. There were no good trade routes between the north and the south of the US. Before the Civil War most of the revenue the US government received came from southern payments of the tariff. Resentment over a new higher tariff provoked the Nullification Crisis during Andrew Jackson's first term.
