Henry Clay's American System was an economic plan aimed at fostering national unity and promoting economic growth in the early 19th century. It emphasized the establishment of a protective tariff to support American industries, the creation of a national bank to stabilize the currency, and the development of internal improvements, such as roads and canals, to facilitate transportation and trade. The American System sought to integrate the nation's economy and reduce regional disparities, ultimately laying the groundwork for modernization and expansion.
