Which was a disastrous consequence of the Embargo of 1807?

Answer 1

The disastrous consequence of the Embargo Act of 1807 was that there was no trade with British/American companies in the United States. It actually caused the British to rely more heavily on companies and farms in their own lands. What it did for the Americans was a travesty because Americans working in factories with British interests in the United States, lost their jobs. Or worse, many ships were seized by the United States and there was no trade with anyone.
