Many of the public policy initiatives Lincoln had proposed during his campaign are enacted into law during the early days of his administration. The Republicans become the partners of industrial capitalism through higher tariffs--the Morrill Tariff Act of 1861--and open up public land for settlement with the Homestead Act in 1862. Congress also passes a group of reforms, the National Banking Act and new currency laws designed to hold the union together in a projected peacetime, and establishes a national system of state universities through the Morrill Land Grant Act.
