The Embargo Act of 1807, implemented by President Thomas Jefferson, aimed to avoid war by prohibiting American ships from trading with foreign nations, particularly Britain and France. However, it severely harmed the U.S. economy, leading to widespread unemployment and a decline in exports, especially in New England's shipping and manufacturing sectors. Farmers also suffered as they could not sell their crops, resulting in increased resentment towards the federal government. Ultimately, the act proved ineffective in changing foreign policies and was repealed in 1809.
