I’m curious do many people in the US know about the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act? I only learnt about it yesterday from the BBC. I found it really interesting to read about it as it seemed to be exactly the same process that we’re going through now.

I was taught about it in high school history 15 years ago in a deep red state. I had to Google it to remember any details about it though. It was definitely taught as a complete failure that made the Great Depression worse and started a trade war.
