Alexander Hamilton found himself in conflict with Thomas Jefferson, especially when Hamilton produced his "Report on Manufacture

s" in 1790. Jefferson detested the idea that manufacturing (and indeed industrial capitalism, as then understood) would ever become part of the American economic landscape, while Hamilton ridiculed the notion of the United States ever being strong by relying on merchants in ports and yeoman farmers. Eventually, Congress got around to seeing Hamilton's way, and enacted a tariff on imported manufactured goods. What else did that tax on imports accomplish

Answer:

b. The high tariff not only became, until 1860, the main source of Federal revenues -- it also had the effect of allowing indigenous American manufacturing firms to become price-competitive with their European (especially British) competition.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

a. Import duties replaced all the revenue lost after the Whiskey Rebellion resulted in the end of taxes on locally-distilled adult beverages.

b. The high tariff not only became, until 1860, the main source of Federal revenues -- it also had the effect of allowing indigenous American manufacturing firms to become price-competitive with their European (especially British) competition.

c. High taxes on imported goods had zero impact on the growing estrangement of the South from the North.

d. High tariffs created incentives for smuggling massive amounts of contraband from Spanish and French pirates headquartered in New Orleans and Miami.

This question refers to the Tariff Act of 1789. This was signed into law by President George Washington, becoming one of the first important laws passed by Congress. This law was primarily supported by Alexander Hamilton. The law had two important effects. First, it allowed American manufactured goods to become more competitive. Second, it became the federal government's main source of revenue until income tax was introduced in 1913.

Answer:

The roots of the temperance movement stretch all the way back to the early nineteenth century. The American Temperance Society, founded in 1826, encouraged voluntary abstinence from alcohol, and influenced many successor organizations, which advocated mandatory prohibition on the sale and import of alcoholic beverages. Many religious sects and denominations, and especially Methodists, became active in the temperance movement. Women were especially influential. The Women’s Christian Temperance Union, founded in 1873, was one of the leading advocates of prohibition.

During the Progressive Era, calls for prohibition became more strident. In many ways, temperance activists were seeking to ameliorate the negative social effects of rapid industrialization. Saloons and the heavy drinking culture they fostered were associated with immigrants and members of the working class, and were seen as detrimental to the values of a Christian society. The Anti-Saloon League, with strong support from Protestants and other Christian denominations, spearheaded the drive for nationwide prohibition. In fact, the Anti-Saloon League was the most powerful political pressure group in US history—no other organization had ever managed to alter the nation’s Constitution.

Write a research-based argumentative essay for or against health care for everyone.
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Health care should be free for everyone. Not everybody can afford this and because of that, not only individuals, but families as a whole suffer. If health care was free and accessible to everybody, there would be a decline in the spread of diseases as more treatment would be available.

Some people might say that health care should not be free for everyone, seeing as that could potentially bring down our economy. However, the opposition against free health care is not a valid fear because many European counties have free health care and their economy functions fine.

In conclusion, free healthcare would benefit and protect many citizens. It helps the majority of people and is the best solution.

(This isn’t the best and you should likely add a little to it/reword it so it sounds like you. Maybe include a research article and take a few statements out of that, then cite it.)

Please mark me as the brainliest and thanks
