Thomas Jefferson was not directly involved in the War of 1812, as he had completed his presidency in 1809, just before the war began in 1812. However, his policies and decisions during his presidency, particularly regarding trade and foreign relations, set the stage for the conflict. Jefferson's Embargo Act of 1807 aimed to avoid war by restricting trade with Britain and France, but it ultimately strained the U.S. economy and heightened tensions, contributing to the circumstances that led to the war.
