What states support protectionism?

Birmingham, AL was founded after the Civil War for its proximity to coal, iron ore, and limestone deposits in the area and named after the English industrial city of the same name. These ingredients are rarely found in close proximity, and with the arrival of the railroads, the city was able to export high quality steel. It’s access to poor, rural white and black Alabama labor from the countryside gave the city a competitive low wage workforce. In three decades it’s population grew from almost nothing to over 100,000, and it was nicknamed “the Pittsburgh of the South.”
