Tariffs-Julia Glancy-Deborah's Class

Artist Statement
By Julia Glancy

​Tariffs are taxes on imported and exported goods. Tariffs were created so the South would start buying manufactured goods from the North. The arrows from the North to Europe and the South to Europe show how the the country was divided on the matter of tariffs. Arrows from Canada all the way down to Mexico represent NAFTA. NAFTA is the National Free Trade Agreement. NAFTA has created free trade between Canada, The United States and Mexico. What once divided a country is now pulling countries together.
