Explaining TARIFFS with a Textile History Lesson

I'm telling the story of textile manufacturing in the USA so we can have an informed understanding about how we got here. I'll start with Colonial America, the rise of industrialization, the Labor Movement, and why manufacturing left the United States. Then I'll talk about what tariffs mean for the yarn and fiber arts communities. I have lots to talk about!
