Answer (3)

As far i know by imposing a tariff (a tax) on imported goods. This was to make imported items more expensive than domestically produced ones. A high tariff was popular in the north, as protecting American jobs and making northern manufacturers wealthy. It was bitterly resented in the south. The south traded a lot with Europe, particularly France and England.

Trade was vital to the territorial growth of the United States by fostering economic strategies like tariffs, encouraging westward migration, and facilitating trade agreements that sometimes included land acquisitions. The expansion of trade routes and the development of infrastructure further supported this growth, while conflicts over trade-related resources led to significant territorial gains. Overall, trade shaped the U.S. economy and its geographic boundaries in the 19th century.
