Thomas Jefferson responded to the conflict between Great Britain and France by implementing the Embargo Act of 1807, which aimed to restrict trade with both nations in an effort to protect American interests. He believed that this would pressure Britain and France to respect American neutrality without resorting to military action. However, the embargo ultimately harmed the U.S. economy and led to widespread discontent, showcasing the challenges of maintaining neutrality during international conflicts.

What were the original intentions and actual results of Jefferson's embargo?

Jefferson instituted the embargo of 1807 in response to the impressment of American sailors by Britain. Outraged, Americans called for a war with Britain. The embargo was enacted as a chastisement of Britain and France to force them to respect American neutrality, cease impressment and end the attacks on American ships. The result, however, was an economic disaster for the United States, which resulted in great wins by the opposing Federalist party.
