Solution
The correct option is A Cloth made in New England
A tariff is a tax on imports that protects
domestic products. The key domestic industry was New England cloth
manufacturing. To protect New England cloth, British cloth was taxed so
that Americans would buy cheaper New England cloth. American wheat,
corn, and cotton needed no protection.
