Not really. Part of the plan involved high protective tariffs on foreign goods so that American consumers would be more likely to purchase American-made goods. It would also allocate funds for infrastructure improvement (roads and other transportation systems like the Erie Canal). It would create a National Banks to standardize currency. However, may in the south opposed the high tariffs because the benefits from the extra costs would help the industrial North because more people would be purchasing their goods and because improved transportation mostly occurred in the north. They resented the fact that they had to pay more and would not reap the benefits. the program also created divisions in congress because it was supported most notably by Whig Henry Clay but staunchly opposed by Republican-democrats.
