The American System
The Best Possible Way to Improve America
A new era is upon us!
Industry sweeps through the nation! No longer are we a small union of states, but a growing power in the world. And to stay competitive and influential, we must change to match this new lofty position. These United States must move away from the antiquated agricultural ways of the past and embrace our potential for manufacturing power.
What must we do?
Under the American System, a few simple steps are all that America must follow to become the international behemoth it was meant to be
1. Impose stronger tariffs! This will protect American goods and ensure a source of revenue for our federal government.
2. Improve our infrastructure! With our country growing at a faster pace, we will need new and improved roads and transportation systems connecting us to our frontiers.
3. Preserve our national bank! As our economic base grows, we will need to ensure that our currency remains stable enough to support us.
4. Focus on industry! We must take advantage of our new industrial improvements. Gone are the days of factories and in are the days of factories. Our destiny as a global power awaits us!
