Great Britain colonized areas of North America. They imposed a system of mercantilism, this gave them a monopoly on raw materials from the colonies which they would later use to create products and sell them back to colonists. The French and Indian War put Great Britain in debt, so parliament decided to tax the colonists to pay for the war. Great Britain continued to exert their control over the colonists which created tension between them.
The debate during the Gilded Age was between "free-traders" and "protectionists". Generally, people in agriculture prefferred lower tariffs, because it enabled them to more easily export their agricultural products, which there was a surplus of in the US, and provided competition for industrial products, which would keep prices low.
For the opposite reason, people in more industrial areas of the country wanted higher tariffs, or a more protectionist policy, so that the manufacturing sector could continue to develop, and they wouldn't have to compete with foreign manufactured goods.
