During the Industrial Revolution, political decisions worked to discourage competing markets outside the U.S. primarily by implementing tariffs for foreign trade. Tariffs were used to increase the cost of imported goods, making them less competitive in comparison to U.S.-made products, thus promoting domestic industry and discouraging reliance on foreign markets.
