He states that the industries expanded prior to the tariffs due to the effects of war and embargo which were protectionist in the highest degree. Thus, the effect of the tariffs was more maintenance than infant industry protection.
You're fibbing again, fakeit. Taussig did recognize that a state of protection (or to be more specific, virtual autarky) existed during the war, but he did NOT assert the protectionist tariffs that followed accomplished some sort of "maintenance." In fact he described their effects as virtually negligable toward achieving that end, meaning we would have been better off without them.
