14.March 5, 1832 Dear Editor: I am writing in support of stronger protective tariffs. America's manufacturers are facing increasing competition from European countries, which are selling their products here at prices far below ours. To prevent this, we must make imported goods more expensive. Higher tariffs will help our economy and our workers, and they are a good idea. Thank you, A concerned Northern businessman Imagine that you are a Southerner and the year is 1832. Write a response to this letter explaining your position on tariffs. Explain TWO ways these tariffs affect you and your neighbors.
