36. The Morrill Tariff took effect one month after it was signed into law. The tariff had been written for peacetime with the purpose of protecting of industrial manufacturing, located mostly in the northeast, from foreign competitor products. The United States needed more revenue to support its troops in the field --$320 million for the next year, of which three-fourths had to come from tariff revenues.

37. The Homestead Act of 1862 was passed by the U.S. Congress. It provided for the transfer of 160 acres (65 hectares) of unoccupied public land to each homesteader on payment of a nominal fee after five years of residence; land could also be acquired after six months of residence at $1.25 an acre. The government had previously sold land to settlers in the West for revenue purposes. As the West became politically stronger, however, pressure was increased upon Congress to guarantee free land to settlers.

38. 1862 – Legal Tender Act • Republican Congressman Elbridge C. Spaulding of New York, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, proposed a solution. He drafted a bill making paper currency, payable on demand by the U.S. Treasury but unbacked by gold or silver, legal tender for all debts, public and private, except duties on imports and interest on the public debt.

39. The Morrill Act of 1862 was also known as the Land Grant College Act. It was a major boost to higher education in America. The grant was originally set up to establish institutions is each state that would educate people in agriculture, home economics, mechanical arts, and other professions that were practical at the time. This gave each state 30,000 acres of public land for each Senator and Representative. These numbers were based on the census of 1860. The land was then to be sold and the money from the sale of the land was to be put in an endowment fund which would provide support for the colleges in each of the states.

40. In the 1850s Congress commissioned several topographical surveys across the West to determine the best route for a railroad, but private corporations were reluctant to undertake the task without Federal assistance. In 1862 Congress passed the Pacific Railway Acts which designated the 32nd parallel as the initial transcontinental route and gave huge grants of lands for rights-of-way. The legislation authorized two railroad companies, the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific, to construct the lines

41. After the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861, Abe Lincoln was concerned with financing the war so he proposed a system of national banks authorized to issue national bank notes fully backed by federal bonds.  The system would provide a uniform national currency and would bring banks that entered it under federal control.On Feb. 25, 1863, Congress passed the N.B.A. The acts of 1863 and '64 remained the basis of national banking policy until 1913 when the Federal Reserve Act came in.
