The Embargo Act
In 1809, Congress repealed the Embargo Act of 1807. This act, passed during President Thomas Jefferson's administration, had banned American ships from trading with foreign nations in an attempt to avoid conflicts between the United States and European powers. However, it severely impacted American merchants and led to widespread economic hardship, leading Congress to repeal it.
