FRIENDS OF DOMESTIC INDUSTRY

FRIENDS OF DOMESTIC INDUSTRY was the name assumed by a convention of five hundred delegates from New England and other states, including Ohio and Virginia. The convention met at New York in 1831 to promote retaining a protective tariff. This convention's reports reveal much about early nineteenth-century American industry.
