Excerpt from The Tariff Controversy: In the United States, 1789-1833; With a Summary of the Period Bfore the Adoption of the Constitution
The American colonies naturally inherited the political economy of Europe, and of one phase of it they were the unfortunate victims. The colonial system has supplied material for endless harangue and denunciation, and writers of a certain class have exhausted the vocabulary of invective in endeavoring to characterize the tyranny of the mother country toward her defenceless colonies. That England"s policy was one of "deliberate and malignant selfishness," as even Lecky affirms, may be granted, if the words be not understood too severely. Judged by modern standards it was so. The interests of the colonies were made strictly subordinate to those of the mother country, and her legislation bore with irritating severity upon the expanding industrial life of the New World.
