In 1860 the northern states were using tariffs to create a business advantage over foreign competitors. With a 22M to 7M population advantage, the northern states controlled national tariff policy. The southern states were forced to send raw resources, like cotton, to northern manufacturers and buy the finished goods from northern stores. This is similar to the situation in 1770 between England and her colonies.

In 1962 Russian ships were enroute to Cuba with missiles which could be used to attack the United States. In 1861 Lincoln sent ships to resupply a United States fort in Charleston harbor. Fort Sumter threatened shipping in and out of this Confederate States of America port. It was attacked and surrendered.

The Great Depression was ended by the pent-up demand due to rationing and the full employment created by World War II. The United States made tanks, airplanes, ships and jeeps instead of washers, dryers, cars and other durable goods. The forced savings caused by rationing made money available to buy the durable goods, and the end of the war allowed a “full-speed” manufacturing sector to easily transition from war machines to home machines.

Administrative law is being used instead of Constitutional law to take control of the United States. This began innocently with the Interstate Commerce Commission in the 19th century, but so many regulations are created by so many Executive agencies that rules with the force of law exist without input from the peoples' representatives in Congress.

I am unable to write research/white papers on these topics, however I can pay a reasonable amount for one or more.
