he changed the country
The tariff of 1816 was the first tariff passed in the United States. It was proposed by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Dallas to help American manufacturers. It was approved in 1816 and was to last only until 1820. Southern states opposed it because they sold their cotton in Great Britain.
1816
The Americans that benefited the most from the Tariff of 1816 were the manufacturers. The western and northern states, having a strong industrial base, strongly supported the tariff.
The protective Tariff of 1816 is also known as the Dallas Tariff. It is noteworthy because it marks the first time that congress passed a tariff to protect American manufacturers instead of just to raise money.

John C. Calhoun
New England manufacturers begin to worry about competing with foreign goods after the War of 1812. They pushed for a tariff on these imported goods to protect themselves. This resulted in the passage of the Tariff of 1816.
