Do you honestly believe Industrializiation would have ever kicked off with free trade in the 19th Century when the British could have flooded the American market like they did Europe with their textiles and other products?
I highly doubt it. The American School put American Industry first. Neoliberalism puts dividends first.
Of course not, where did I even imply that? Let me repeat myself for you. Tariffs were the only means to fund the government until they figured out how to tax our businesses and personal incomes..............You have a problem with that?
