c. Tariffs enabled the North’s manufacturers to compete with foreign manufactured goods.


Tariffs are taxes placed on goods importing, or coming into, a country.


Tariffs make imported goods more expensive and therefore the consumer will choose the domestic products because they are cheaper. The early 19th century saw the US beginning to create factories and an industrial system. Supporting tariffs meant giving US products more of a chance to be purchased because they could be priced cheaper. This however, hurts trade on a global scale and would have impacted those that needed to trade with Great Britain.
