Economic Policies
Protective Tariffs
The Tariff of 1816 greatly raised tariffs on
imported goods, making them more expensive than
U.S. goods. This made Southerners mad because
they purchased many foreign goods. They said
that the tariff made northern manufacturers rich,
while hurting people in the South. This is
evidence of sectionalism, or loyalty to a smaller
section, or state, instead of the whole country.
