aug 19, 1816 - Tariff Bill of 1816

Description:

New England mill owners urged congress to pass a bill to tax imported cloth. After a while congress did pass the bill and it lead to mass industrialization and growth of American markets. Without this, the giant factory economy would have had a harder time starting up and not as fast.
