The 'American System' was a government-sponsored program to harmonize and balance the nation's agriculture, commerce and industry following the war of 1812.

The system consisted of three mutually reinforcing parts:

- the establishment of a national bank to foster commerce. The bank would promote a single currency to make trade easier,

- federal subsidies for roads, canals and other means of transport to improve the overall efficiency of infrastructure,
