The Embargo Act of 1807 aimed to pressure Britain and France to respect American neutrality by halting all U.S. exports, thereby crippling their economies. Its failure led to the Non-Intercourse Act of 1809, which specifically targeted Britain and France by allowing trade with other nations while continuing to restrict trade with those two countries. Both acts were intended to avoid war and protect American interests but ultimately harmed the U.S. economy and provoked public dissent.
