1. Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act

2. James K. Polk. Known for supporting and influencing the "Manifest Destiny" by expanding into the west. This lead to him leading the successful American-Mexican War.

3. "See the chivalry! See the gray-backs run!" this is because the Southerners were known for their 'honour' and nobility. Also their uniform was gray. (I'm not sure of this one....)

[Captain Blackadder]

1 To protect U.S. businesses, Congress enacted tough trade barriers (the Hawley-Smoot Tariff of 1930) which in turn resulted in a dramatic decline in sales of U.S. goods overseas -- causing the loss of millions of more jobs and the closing of many more banks. This action finally pushed the U.S. into the depths of the Great Depression (1932). correct
