The Embargo Act destroyed New England's shipping capacity and seriously damaged American markets, especially for exporters. Markets where the U.S. had gained advantage, such as the West Indies, were lost to Britain and the economic cost to the country was extremely high. In the long-run, the Embargo Act had to be repealed because its significance was to nearly cripple the young American economy.
