    The so-called Hamiltonian system introduced very high tariffs to block superior British manufactures. There was a lot of stealing of technology-- what is now called piracy. And the United States began to develop and this went from textiles, the early stages of industrialization, then right through steel and on pretty much until the First and Second World War.
