In response to international tensions and maritime conflicts, President Jefferson and Congress enacted the Embargo Act of 1807, which imposed a comprehensive economic embargo on foreign trade. This legislation aimed to pressure Britain and France to respect American neutrality and protect U.S. shipping interests. However, the embargo had significant negative effects on the American economy, particularly harming merchants and sailors, and ultimately led to widespread discontent and calls for its repeal. The act was seen as a failure, illustrating the challenges of using economic measures to influence foreign policy.

During the latter part of Jefferson's administration, the Napoleonic Wars were going on in Europe and both France and Britain interfered with US shipping sometimes egregiously. To solve the problem, Jefferson signed the Embargo act which stopped all European trade. The hope was that France and Britain would be pressured to offer concessions in order to restore trade, but it turned out that the Americans were the ones that most suffered from the embargo. At the very end of Jefferson last term, the embargo was lifted and replaced by the Non-Intercourse Act which weakened the restrictions on trade.

The Embargo hurt Britain and France. Americans, however, suffered even more. Exports dropped from $108 million in 1807 to $22 million in 1808. American sailors had no work. Farmers lost money because they could not ship wheat overseas. Docks in the South were piled high with cotton and tobacco. The Embargo Act hurt New England merchants most of all, and they protested loudly.
