France and Britain were engaged in war (again)
and the U.S. filled the trade void left by the two
powers.
G.B. and France ignored our right to neutrality.
Napoleon broke the Treaty of Morfontaine and
the British began the impressment our sailors.
However, foreign trade continued to skyrocket
to an all-time high (over 100 million dollars in
1807).
Many Americans were angry with the practice
of impressment and wanted war with G.B.
Jefferson, like his predecessors wanted to avoid
war.
Embargo Act of 1807: Forbade American to
import or export goods… Good Idea or Bad
Idea, why?
Terrible Idea:
Hinder America’s economy
American market not big enough to make up the
difference in lost exports
Cost of goods increased dramatically (European
goods were often cheaper)
Smugglers
Jefferson was forced to use our army and navy
against those that didn’t follow the Act
Nonintercourse (trade) Act of 1809: Allowed
Americans to trade with all countries except
G.B. and France.

White settlers keep expanding westward
causing conflicts with Native tribes.
-The Conflict exists because the settlers and
natives are competing for land and resources.
G.B. continues to undermine our interactions
with the natives by providing them with
weapons and encouraging conflict.
Agreement is reached between the U.S.
government and the Western Confederacy,
after the battle of Falling Timbers.
Sets up a pattern: U.S. takes land and gives
Natives money…Natives continue to move
west.
Tecumseh-a Shawnee leader successfully unites
several tribes to defend their land from
westward settlers.
Tecumseh’s brother – “The Prophet” was the
spiritual leader of the new confederation.
Obstacles : Rival tribes refused to unite and
follow Tecumseh…Tecumseh will be killed and
the movement will fall apart.
Led by Henry Clay of KY
Motives:
Nationalism: Pride in one’s country
To seize Canada
To stop Britain from seizing our ships
To end British aid to Native Americans in the West
To take Florida from Spain, Britain’s ally.
Still some Americans were weary of going to war
GB begins a blockading some American ports, in
order to prevent us from trading with the French.
