Hawley Tariff?

goods.

B. The agricultural industry received a boost.

C. More American goods were sold overseas.

D. Many Republican senators supported Hoover

in the next election

Answer: Trade partners raised the tariffs on American

goods.

Explanation:

The Hoover administration thus intended to protect domestic agriculture. However, this move had different consequences. It resulted in countermeasures in the eye of countries that had hitherto had good economic relations with the united states. This measure hurt American agriculture. This has resulted in the collapse of the global economy, which has only deepened the global economic crisis.
