It argues that current duties raise revenue but may not shield American industry, while some insist duties become prohibitive and unconstitutional.

Carpet Bag Debt and Southern Redemption
After the Civil War Southern states carried a total debt of 76 445 800 dollars. Six years of Reconstruction raised it to 280 928 584 dollars, much wasted or stolen, leading to repudiation or financial chaos. Since gaining control, debt has been reduced and redemption underway, signaling stability and a pause on new political experiments.
