Home ORIGINS |
The 1789 Protective TariffThe 1789 Protective Tariff severely taxed all foreign vessels. This encouraged Americans to trade domestically, causing a surge in maritime activity along America's eastern coast. Although America continued to export its goods, American imports diminished because of the added expense. This provided an advantage to American ships (and ports, like New York) over European ships and companies. |
