Instead of declaring war, Jefferson asked congress to pass legislation that would stop all foreign trade. "Peaceable coercion," as the president described hi policy, would prevent further bloodshed. In December, congress passed the EMBARGO ACT OF 1807. American ships were no longer allowed to sail to foreign ports. The Act also closed American ports to British ships.
The Embargo Act of 1807 barred French and British warships from American ports. This legislation was enacted in response to the ongoing Napoleonic Wars and the interference with American shipping and trade by both Britain and France. The act aimed to maintain American neutrality and protect U.S. interests, but it ultimately led to economic hardship and was widely unpopular, contributing to the War of 1812.
Yes it was.
Thomas Jefferson issued the Embargo Act of 1807 primarily in response to British and French interference with American shipping during the Napoleonic Wars. The act aimed to pressure these nations to respect American neutrality and rights by prohibiting American vessels from trading with foreign ports. Jefferson believed that an embargo would protect American interests without resorting to military conflict. However, the act ultimately harmed the U.S. economy and was widely unpopular, leading to its repeal in 1809.
The War Hawks supported going to war with Great Britain for a variety of reasons, mostly because of the British interference with American shipping. The War Hawks also believed that the British were causing American Indians on the frontier to attack American settlements. They also wished to invade Canada and make it part of the United States.== == The War Hawks supported going to war with Great Britain for a variety of reasons, mostly because of the British interference with American shipping.

The Embargo Act of 1807, passed by Congress, aimed to prohibit American ships from trading with foreign nations, particularly in response to British and French interference with American shipping and impressment of sailors. The act was intended to apply economic pressure on these nations and protect American interests but ultimately led to significant economic distress within the United States. It was highly unpopular and was repealed in 1809, as it failed to achieve its objectives and caused widespread hardship among American merchants and farmers.

On June 1, 1812, President James Madison asked Congress to declare war on Great Britain. This request was largely due to ongoing British interference with American shipping, impressment of American sailors into the British Navy, and other violations of American sovereignty.
