Tariffs, Trade Wars and Industry in 19th Century America
A historical analysis recounts the impact of wars and foreign exports on American industry from 1814 onward. It describes how early tariffs under Calhoun and 1824 1828 revived waning sectors, the 1842 protective tariff's swift success, and subsequent shifts to revenue tariffs in 1846 1847 that led to cycles of boom and collapse, culminating in 1861 wartime protections that sustained industry.
