The Tariff of 1828 Midwest: Now, we all know why we are here today, to discuss the unfair tariff that Andrew Jackson has put in place to hinder our source of income. South: The taxing on the crops has taken a huge toll on the farmers, they don’t have a lot of money to begin with. All that this tax does, is prohibit them from providing for their families. Northeast: The trade between Europe, France and Africa has declined. The revenue that the merchants recieved has drastically dropped. South: We’ve been hit really hard due to the importation of manufactored goods. It’s expensive enough to import the goods, but with the protective tariff adds on another layer to the situation. Midwest: The thinking is the protect the economy domestically, …show more content…
Northeast: The tariff helps the manufacturers because of competition throughout the market. It’s so hard to keep on top of the market. South: The farmers recieve the hardest hit, because of them providing the the source of income for the state, they get the hardest hit, which isn’t fair. Midwest: The consumers are effected as well because of the raised prices, if the farmers are purchasing some of the product. The revenue that they get back is so little because it’s taxed so much. The products are 45% taxed, which is an outrageous number for the consumers. There is nothing “protective” about this tariff. Northeast: The regions where the goods ar exported are effected drastically low compared to the South, where they provide the goods that are exported, for example, crops. South: Everyone knows that the South is the region that gets hit the hardest. All we do is export cash crops, then buy foodstuffs and manufactored goods with the little revenue that the farmers recieve. Northeast: The newspapers predicted that it would help advocate the president more than defending and protecting the
The North’s economy was based on textiles, shipping, and skilled trades. Their climate was not suited for the same type of agricultural products that the South produced like cotton, sugar, rice and tobacco. Northern states like New England manufactured and shipped goods like guns, clocks, plows and axes (page 399). One reason for the South’s dependence on slavery is because their economy relied on the existence of slave labor. For example, the cultivation of cotton depended largely on slave labor, with 75% of the crop grown on plantations,
In the five document shown it shows how the geographic differences between regions lead to economic differences between them. In the fifth document we can see this is true. “ It is a graph of how much cotton has been sold each year.”(Document 5) From the graph we can see that the cotton population has grown which concludes that it leads to economic differences because the more cotton leads to more money having to be spent on it. Another reason showing the claim is right is Document 1. In document one it shows the climate of the south “ The fertile soil and warm climate of the South made it ideal for large-scale farms and crops like tobacco and cotton.”( Document 1) As we can see the south is fine but the north isn't. The north's climate favors
Climate, geography, economic, incentives, and the degree of agricultural diversion which contributed to the distinctive character of various region. Florida, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana are the lower south, and Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, and Missouri are the Upper south. Upper south has less dominant of slavery. They did not rely on slavery for their work demand. Upper south is specialized was corn, tobacco etc.
To put it differently, the money taken from the farmers only benefitted the rich, and left the farmers poorer and
Natural resources of the Southern region, to state a few, are cotton, tobacco, and harbors. These are good because since cotton and tobacco are both cash crops we can
The northern region was more industrious than the southern region. Even though these two regions have many different characteristics with the economy, they had some similarities. Each region had their own economic system and they were each new colonies starting out in the New World. They both had to adapt to their surroundings and environment to survive and create their unique economy.
Industry in the North was not as labor intensive as working on the farms of the South.
Although they settled on the same coast, due to vastly different geographys, the North became commercial while the South focused on agriculture. A warmer climate meant tobacco flourished in southern colonies. Because of this, the South was able to exploit the tobacco industry making it a very valuable cash crop. However, in the North, poorer soil and a colder climate made growing crops much more difficult. As a result, northern colonies quickly realized they needed to trade natural resources, contrary to the southern colonies crops. A woodsier geography in the North meant great trading of lumber. Exceeding amounts of lumber meant a lot of ships were made, causing the North to thrive on a commercial economy. In the South, rivers allowed for easy shipment of crops. This meant southern colonies could thrive on selling crops back to their European states, making them flourish with an agricultural economy.
Firstly, The Southern Colonies had the best climate and land for farming. The climate was warm almost all year long and the soil was fruitful. The growing season was very long and was perfect for cash crops such as tobacco, indigo and rice. With an economy dependent on cultivation there was a need for laborers which was provided by black slaves. Although slaves were present in the northern colonies they were more important in the South.
Even in farm production the northern states overshadowed the rural South, for most of the North’s population was still rooted in the soil. The Confederacy produced enough foodstuffs to meet minimal needs, but the disruption of transport caused shortages in many places. The North, meanwhile, produced a surplus of wheat for export at a time when drought and crop failures in Europe created a critical demand. King Wheat supplanted King Cotton as the nation’s main export, becoming the chief means of acquiring foreign money and bills of exchange to pay for imports from abroad.
While both the North and the South had stable and confident economic systems, the North was much more industrialized and diversified and with a better transportation system they not only had the ability for mass production but also the means for speedy and
The Prairie Provinces in Canada were said to be the worst hit in the world. They were almost completely dependent on the
For example, farming was the main source of income for the Confederate states. The main southern chief crop which came to be known as King Cotton, accounted for 57% of all U.S. exports (“Civil War”). However, in order to produce these large amounts of cotton, the southern Confederate states depended heavily on slave labor. Since cotton production began to dominate and fuel the southern economy, the South felt that they did not need to industrialize like their northern neighbors did. This caused the South to manufacture very little goods and caused them to purchase manufactured goods from the industrialized North or to purchase imported goods from overseas.
Both areas had many farmers, but the south was successful with big plantations. The southern economy depended on agriculture while the North was based on technological advancement. The North successful developed many industries, while the south improved their farming methods (Roark, 7). The south farmers established huge plantations for cash crop production especially cotton. In addition, slavery became an important factor that provided
White farmers in the South and Midwest faced many problems after the Civil War, economically, politically, and socially. Many farmers had a system of cultivating unimproved land, and then selling it for a profit before moving farther West. However, after the Civil War, many states had no increase or barely an increase in land value. Thus, farmers using this process were no longer earning a profit. In other states, the land value did increase greatly. However, with the coming of income taxes and the raise in property taxes, these farmers still suffered. In addition, there was a lot of tension between railroad companies and farmers because railroad companies were overcharging farmers for the transportation of crops. However, because of a monopoly,
