Spanish closed off the port at New Orleans.
This made it difficult for farmers to export such things as corn and pork.
Farmers needed that port, because crossing over the Appalachian mountain was quite difficult. Going down the Ohio and/or Mississippi river was much easier.
But, the Spanish closed off the ports in order to create a buffer zone between Spanish and U.S. -- to try and prevent westward expansion.
