He convinced the Congress to pass the Embargo Act

∙ 9y ago
President Thomas Jefferson pursued a policy of economic coercion to avoid war. He implemented the Embargo Act of 1807, which prohibited American ships from trading with foreign nations. By cutting off trade, Jefferson hoped to pressure Britain and France into respecting American neutrality and cease their interference with American shipping. However, the embargo had negative effects on the American economy and ultimately failed to achieve its objectives.
