American+System

 Finally our Whig party ,as everyone else calls them, which includes the dearest Speaker of the House Henry Clay, our Vice President John C. Calhoun, our President John Quincy Adams and so many others, has gave the name to their almost perfect plan(as they think). Although they have been working to perfect this plan, it needs a good powerful name, so they called it The American System. This mainly explains itself a system for the Americans. If you have not heard about the American system it is a plan to strengthen and unify the nation .To make it easy for those who do not understand a new form of federalism including new laws for us to obey. Some of the new laws would be supporting for higher tariff to protect industries –maintenance of high public land prices to generate federal revenue-the keeping of the bank of the United States to stabilize the currency and rein in risky states and local banks-making international improvements like roads and canals which would link the nation together and be financed by the tariffs and land sales profits. Some of these things sound good but is that what the west or the south think? We went to talk to some factory owners, workers, farmers, and families. The west told us that Henry clay was over there with them trying to convince them to join in since urban factory workers would be consuming the western goods, but the west opposed the high tariffs, and said n and o. The south, which also opposed high tariffs, which had been augured with too. This time it was because of the cotton markets. The south did not care because they had access to plenty of other cotton markets. Portions of the American system were put in to action by the congress. As if the second Bank of The United States has, re opened it to us. I wonder how this one came along cause last time I checked no one like the high tariffs and they are in motion. However, the national system of internal improvements or road and canals was never really funded. Some say it was primarily due to Jackson’s personal conflict with Henry Clay, rather than just not likening the idea of Henry clay’s plan.
