Why did jefferson issue the embargo?

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.
