The Embargo hurt Britain and France. Americans, however, suffered even more. Exports dropped from $108 million in 1807 to $22 million in 1808. American sailors had no work. Farmers lost money because they could not ship wheat overseas. Docks in the South were piled high with cotton and tobacco. The Embargo Act hurt New England merchants most of all, and they protested loudly.
