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 It was highly unpopular and was repealed in 1809, as it failed to achieve its objectives and caused widespread hardship among American merchants and farmers.
