North-easterners welcomed protective tariffs and were eager to tax European imports. On the other hand, South and West, who did not depend on manufacturing, weren't as eager to tax the European imports.

For the Tariff of 1816, Clay (West in Kentucky) and John C Calhoun (Southerner South Carolina) managed to convince the regional congressmen.

Later after the Tariff, the congress voted on the chartering of the of the Second bank of the US for a period of 20 years and also for the creation of a unified currency.
