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.
• NATIONALISM – A BELIEF AND FEELING
OF PATRIOTIC PRIDE IN YOUR NATION.
“U.S. a world within itself”
• SECTIONALISM – A PRIDE IN
ACHIEVEMENT OF ITS OWN REGION OR
SECTION.

for roads, bridges, and canals to help connect
the west to the rest of the country.
