During the Industrial Revolution, one of the key ways the U.S. government worked to discourage competing markets outside the country was B. Implementing tariffs for foreign trade. Tariffs were used to protect domestic industries by making imported goods more expensive, thereby encouraging consumers to buy American-made products. This approach aimed to limit competition from foreign markets and bolster the growth of industry within the United States.
