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.

Tariff of 1816
It helped to protect American manufacturing after the War of 1812.
America really benefitted in the end because of the Tariff of 1816. Since the tariff raised the price of British goods, our American products were cheaper, making our products the more popular buy. Americans started to buy America made products instead of foreign nations goods, who receive the profit. Our country's nationalism grew becasue of this.
1816
The Americans that benefited the most from the Tariff of 1816 were the manufacturers. The western and northern states, having a strong industrial base, strongly supported the tariff.
The protective Tariff of 1816 is also known as the Dallas Tariff. It is noteworthy because it marks the first time that congress passed a tariff to protect American manufacturers instead of just to raise money.

The Northwest generally supported the Tariff of 1816 as it protected their growing industries. The South, however, was opposed to the tariff as it increased the cost of imported goods that the region relied on and favored Northern manufacturing.
