The 1787 Constitution laid down laws adopting a unified economy with no tariffs or taxes to be levied on interstate trade and commerce, while the first Secretary of the Treasury, one Alexander Hamilton, created the first Bank of the United States in 1791, seeking to instill control and stability in the new economy. He also advocated a protectionist tariff, in line with his economic "American Plan", to shield the USA from the mountains of cheap products that English merchants were willing and very able to flood the economy with. The new bank, along with the United States Mint founded in 1792, greatly pleased the Northern States, while drawing the suspicions of the South. The Southerners, proponents of a greatly decentralized Government, and a similarly autonomous and State-based system of financial control, managed to have the Bank closed in 1811, under the lead of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Currently, the issue is still in contention on how the Government, and thus the economy, should be run, though following the end of the War of 1812, the Jeffersonian faction have seemingly stepped back from their platform of decentralization in favor of strengthening and rebuilding the country once more. Much as during the period of British rule, the vast majority of the population, and thus the economy, lies close along the Eastern Seaboard, while deeper into the West the settlements are isolated, underpopulated and relatively poor. Attempts are currently being made to unite the Eastern Seaboard with the interior, with initiatives such as the Cumberland Road attempting to forge a path West for trade as much as travel, though these are yet only in their early years, and any success yet made is almost negligible. The most of the travel in the USA is done along roads - the steam engine, although eagerly eyed by Americans, has not yet arrived in the Americas, and those who would have it brought over are finding a ready and strong adversary in the supporters of canal travel, who are just starting on their plans to unite many of the rivers and streams across the East with these waterways, the better for goods-transportation. While the full force of the Industrial Revolution never hit the United States during its British rule and the early stages of its independence, it does yet have some of the enhancements becoming so prominent in England. While its iron industry is yet young and small, it currently operates a quite extensive and growing textile industry, making full of such inventions as fully-mechanized equipment, and the power loom will very shortly come into usage.
