Hawley-Smoot Tariff
How did the growth of u.s. manufacturing affect the countrys international relations during the late nineteeth century?
it manufactured by the high tariff barrios on foreign imports
What did the North want to protect its industry?
It wanted to protect its industry by levying tariffs (taxes) on cheap imports. The South had very little industry, and needed cheap imports. So the tariffs looked like a tax by the North on the South.
Why did the south oppose tariffs prior to the civil war?
Because they needed all the cheap foreign imports they could get, having almost no manufacturing industry of their own.
What was the south's economy based on?
Cotton and cotton alone. That's why they needed so many foreign imports, so when the Northern-dominated Congress raised the tariff on imported goods (to protect US manufacturing industry, which was all in the North), the Southern states saw it as a hostile tax on the South.
