The Embargo Act
American ships could not transport goods to foreign ports
The Embargo Act of 1807 significantly restricted American trade by prohibiting exports and imports to and from foreign nations, aiming to protect U.S. interests and avoid entanglement in foreign conflicts, particularly with Britain and France. As a result, American merchants faced severe economic hardships, leading to a decline in international trade and contributing to widespread smuggling. The act ultimately proved unpopular and ineffective, prompting its repeal in 1809, but it underscored the vulnerabilities of the U.S. economy to external pressures.
the embargo act forbade Americans to export or import goods
The Embargo Act put in place by the United States was meant to hurt the British and French. The Embargo Act however ended up hurting the United States the most because they couldn't trade for what they needed with the British and French.
