The tariffs made imported goods very expensive and was an attempt to protect Americans from losing their jobs (because they would produce the goods domestically).
The tariffs failed miserably and probably were one of the reasons for the Great Depression.
Balance can be achieved by the social justice and gender equality of our society when we all realize that each and every gender is equal
Smuggling--The Embargo Act completely restricted US trade and the New Englanders could trade easily with Great Britain through Canada.
The Embargo Act was put into place during the Napoleonic Wars between Britain and France. Great Britain was taking over US ships and forcing citizens to fight for the British army/navy. Jefferson responded with an embargo to force Britain to stop through economic means. However smuggling made the embargo ineffective as well as a lack of support from NE Federalists. <span />
Equiano Olaudah was an English philosopher and writer. He used to be enslaved but he bought his own freedom. He grew up and wrote about his experiences and encounters as an enslaved child. He was a major figure in the campaign to get rid of the slave trade immediately, and he was sold to start being a slave when he was only 11 years old. He even wrote his own autobiography titled ‘The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African.’ He was a part of the “Sons of Africa,” and his autobiography that he self-published spread to be the most detailed account of the Middle Passage from a firsthand account of someone actually traveling along the route.
