Macon's Bill No. 2, enacted in 1810, was a U.S. law aimed at resuming trade with Britain and France after the Embargo Act of 1807 had effectively halted it. The bill allowed the President to restore trade with either nation that recognized American neutrality and ceased hostilities against U.S. shipping. Ultimately, President James Madison chose to restore trade with France, leading to further tensions with Britain and contributing to the War of 1812.
Albert Fau has written: 'Macons au pied du mur'
Napoleon cleaverly agreed to Macons Bill saying he would end Impressent of U.S. Ships and Sailors. This would cause more tensions to grow leading to the War of 1812. Napoleon didnt stop impressment when he said he would though.
