Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and impact of the United States' early shipping policy, enacted to create and protect an American merchant marine for the foreign trade. The author demonstrates that this policy, which employed a system of discriminating duties and tonnage taxes, was successful in fostering a thriving shipbuilding and shipping industry. The book analyzes the debates and controversies surrounding the policy, particularly the arguments in favor of reciprocity with other nations. It also examines the decline of the shipping industry in the 19th century, arguing that the suspension of protective measures contributed to its demise. Through its detailed analysis and historical account, this book provides valuable insights into the role of government policy in shaping the development of a nation's maritime strength.
