Here's the link to the article.  At least the first five pages.  The narrative ends rather abruptly in the 1920s - is there more if you pay for it?  It's published by the ultra-right wing Hillsdale College, so consider the source.

Slavery was the primary cause of the Civil War, but tariffs came in second.  The North liked them, the South didn't.  Then during the Industrial Revolution, labor wanted protective tariffs, capitalists did not.  (In today's politics, that's Democrats vs. Republicans.)  But today, insanity rules.  It's TACO time (Tariffs Always Change Opinions).
