Embargo Act
The Embargo Act put in place by the United States was meant to hurt the British and French. The Embargo Act however ended up hurting the United States the most because they couldn't trade for what they needed with the British and French.
Embargo Act was the law not restricts trading business with other countries. Many countries suffered with this act, however, most of the negative blow was with the United States.
American merchants were hurt by the Embargo Act more than Britain and France.
America would not trade with Britain until it ended impressment
The most hurt by Jefferson's embargo on trade were American merchants and farmers, particularly those in New England and the Mid-Atlantic states. The embargo, implemented in 1807 to protest British and French interference with American shipping, severely restricted exports, leading to widespread economic hardship and unemployment. Many businesses failed, and agricultural prices plummeted, hurting the livelihoods of those reliant on trade. As a result, the embargo sparked significant opposition and contributed to growing tensions leading up to the War of 1812.
The oil embargo
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.
