The Embargo Act of 1807 primarily hurt American merchants and shipowners, particularly those in New England, who relied heavily on trade with foreign nations. The act aimed to pressure Britain and France during the Napoleonic Wars by prohibiting American exports, but it led to severe economic downturns in coastal trading cities. Farmers and manufacturers also suffered due to the decline in trade and the resulting economic instability. Ultimately, the embargo sparked widespread discontent and contributed to the War of 1812.
