The reason why was the tariff, taxing foreign goods and imports on arrival in the United States. \u003ci\u003eTariff Wars and the Politics of Jacksonian America\u003c\/i\u003e attempts to show why the tariff was an important part of the national narrative in the antebellum period. The debates in Congress over the tariff were acrimonious, with pitched arguments between politicians, interest groups, newspapers, and a broader electorate. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe spreading of democracy caused by the tariff evoked bitter sectional controversy among Americans. Northerners claimed they needed a tariff to protect their industries and also their wages. Southerners alleged the tariff forced them to buy goods at increased prices. Having lost the argument against the tariff on its merits, in the 1820s, southerners began to argue the Constitution did not allow Congress to enact a protective tariff. In this fight, we see increased tensions between northerners and southerners in the decades before the Civil War began. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs \u003ci\u003eTariff Wars\u003c\/i\u003e reveals, this struggle spawned a controversy that placed the nation on a path that would lead to the early morning hours of Charleston Harbor in April of 1861.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 15, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45527168286822,"sku":"9780826521378","price":81.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/21LcqU7nHN9780826521378.webp?v=1776639030","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/tariff-wars-and-the-politics-of-jacksonian-america-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
