| 10/3 rc -The Tariff Act of 1789 was the first major piece of legislation passed by the new Congress. It was particularly important because it gave the new national government a source of revenues to pay for its operations and to pay down the national debt from the Revolutionary War. The 5% tax placed on most imported goods (some higher) also helped to protect U.S. manufacturing, so the country would be less dependent on imports. While that helped northern manufacturers, it also made manufactured products more expensive for southern farmers, so it increased tensions between the North and the South |

10/3 rc -was an attempt by President Thomas Jefferson and the U.S. Congress to punish Britain and France for interfering with American trade while the two major European powers were at war with each other.
The law, which was passed after sailors from the USS Chesapeake were impressed by officers from the British ship HMS Leopard, ultimately failed to achieve its objective. By barring American ships from using European ports, it stifled American trade, and wound up doing more damage to American merchants than to European governments. |

| 10/3 rc - When the Embargo Act proved unsatisfactory as an instrument of American foreign policy, it was repealed in March 1809 and replaced with the milder Nonintercourse Act. This act maintained the embargo only against Britain and France, but did not ban trade with other European countries. Since trade could be conducted indirectly in this manner, the act was largely futile. It was also limited by its express deadline, that enforcement would end with the conclusion of the next session of Congress. |
