EIGHT (8) THINGS TO
KNOW1. Two Distinct Economies
Develop 2. American System3. Monroe Doctrine4. Tariff of 1816-18325. Jackson Challenges the
Bank of the U.S.6. Sectional Attitudes about
War with Mexico7. Wilmot Proviso Debate8. Compromise of 1850
NOTES
Two Distinct Economies
DevelopSECTIONALISM
NOTES
NORTH
•Became industrial with the invention of interchangeable parts
•Small, self-sufficient family farms
•Little to no need for slavery
SOUTH
•Large plantations
•Cotton gin (Eli Whitney) made slavery entrenched in southern life
•More cotton was produced with the invention of the cotton gin, therefore more slaves were needed
American System
(Henry Clay)NATIONALISMPURPOSE: Unite the nation economically1. Develop transportation systems & internal
improvements (roads, canals, and railroad)• Specific examples: National Road, Erie
Canal2. Establish a protective tariff (tax on imports)• This INCREASED the cost of foreign
goods- domestic products were cheaper so more were sold
• These taxes would help pay for internal improvements
3. Resurrect the national bank (Second Bank of the U.S.)
• Created a national currency, making it easier for people in different regions to do business with each other
NOTES
Monroe Doctrine
NATIONALISM• The Monroe Doctrine warned all
outside powers not to interfere with the affairs in the Western Hemisphere; At the same time the United States would not involve itself in European affairs
• Don’t create new colonies• Don’t overthrow newly
independent republics in the hemisphere
NOTES
Tariff of 1816-1832
SECTIONALISM• John C. Calhoun (Jackson’s Vice
President from South Carolina) called the tariff a “Tariff of Abominations”
• According to Calhoun, the tariff forced the South to buy the more expensive Northern manufactured goods
• He felt the North was getting rich at the expense of the South
• South Carolina tried to nullify the tariff• Henry Clay stepped in a brokered a
compromise, lowering the tariff over a 10 year period
NOTES
Jackson Challenges the
Bank of the U.S.NATIONALISM
• Jackson believed that the Bank of the U.S. benefited the rich rather than the citizen
• Instead, Jackson deposited money into state banks, rather than the Bank of the U.S. -“pet banks”
• These banks were loyal to the Democratic Party, thus called “pet banks”
• Eventually the BUS went out of business
NOTES
Sectional Attitudes
about War with MexicoSECTIONALISM
South• Saw it as an opportunity to
extend slavery and increase Southern power in CongressNorth
• Opposed the war and saw it as a plot to expand slavery
• This would create Southern dominance
NOTES
Wilmot Proviso Debate
SECTIONALISM• The Proviso would ban slavery in all
territories acquired in the War with Mexico
• The North supported the proviso because it banned slavery in new territories
• The North thought slavery was unfair competition to wage earners
• The South opposed the proviso • The proviso never passed, but caused
more sectional tension between the North and the South
NOTES
Compromise of 1850
NATIONALISMCreated by Henry Clay to solve the
controversy between free states and slave states
The terms of the Compromise of 1850:1. North got California admitted to the
Union as a free state2. South got a strict fugitive slave law3. Popular sovereignty (allowing
residents of the new territories to vote for or against slavery) would determine the status of states in the future
