Thank you for sharing this. I didn't realize that the trade imbalance was a major driver of the Revolutionary War. Taxation without representation is the textbook impetus for war, but it seems that it was part of a much larger economic argument for independence.

FWIW, a simple AI summary:
James Madison recognized that the economic imbalance between America and Britain persisted even after the Revolution, leaving the young nation vulnerable to British influence and manipulation. His Tariff Act of 1789 and later protectionist policies were crucial in countering British economic warfare, ensuring America’s independence in trade and industry.
