The reason why the United States economy became more reliant on money in the late 1800's because of the Civil War. The U.S needed to pay for the expenses of transporting soldiers, feeding them, and etc. Going to war is not free, and it is a very hefty price when a country goes to war. Because of this, the United States started to compose what is now called "income tax." The income taxed made citizens pay to help fund the war. After the war, they also needed money to rebuild the South.
The goal was to tell the rest of the world (mainly the Europeans) that the United States has official borders and that they could no longer colonize in the borders.
It also told the Europeans that the U.S would not interfere with their colonies or Europe itself.
