Do Now: In 1816, a member of Congress said, “I will buy where I can get manufactured goods the cheapest. …It is unjust to aggravate the burdens of the people for the purpose of favoring the manufacturers.” Write 2 lines about whether you agree or disagree with this statement and explain your position. Was this person in favor of the Tariff Act of 1816? How do you know? Use information from the text to support your answer. Today, I will be able to define sectionalism in my own words.
