Tariff of 1816- first protective tariff, which was intended to strictly protect American goods against foreign competition and American manufacturing. New England generally supported the tariff while the south generally opposed it, which led to more sectionalism. American System- (1820s) promoted by Speaker of the House, Henry Clay, who was a strong supporter of economic nationalism. The American system proposed 3 things: high tariffs on European imports (tariff of 1816) , higher prices for federal land, and a strong national bank. These three things were intended to strengthen the federal government. Higher tariffs promoted less imports and kept the money inside the United States. Higher prices on federal lands were used to finance federal improvements. The bank would promote healthy economic growth. The American system meet strong support and opposition. It was meant to unify the country but led to sectionalism instead. James Monroe- elected president in 1816 and served two terms.

C) US will not interfere with existing European colonies D) US will keep out of internal affairs of European nations and their wars. John Q.

Oregon Country- the convention of 1818 between Britain and the United States established the Oregon country as being west of the crest of the Rocky Mountains and the two countries were to occupy it together. Panic of 1819- financial collapse brought on by rapidly falling cotton prices, declining demand for American exports, and reckless western land speculation.
