Read, “Problems with France & England,” p. 353
• The British
captured any
ship bound for
France.
• The French
stopped all
ships bound
for Britain.
• Why was Jefferson unable to keep
the United States out of conflicts with
other nations?
Trade around the world put U.S. ships in
constant contact with foreign countries.
Jefferson’s
Response
Instead of declaring war, he asked Congress
to pass legislation that would stop all U.S.
foreign trade – Embargo Act, 1807
• Described his policy as “peaceable coercion”
Jefferson’s
Response
• How would Jefferson “force the British and
French to respect American shipping?
Embargo Act of 1807
• No more foreign trade – Epic Fail!!
• Effects:
1) American farmers lost key
markets for their products
2) Shippers lost income
3) Many chose to violate the
embargo by making false claims
about where they were going.

Using the graph & information from 10.3, explain why the War
of 1812 was the “second war for independence” not
politically, but for economic independence:
• graph shows increasing
trade 1804 - 1807
• war between Britain & France
disrupted U.S. trade
• British impressed U.S. sailors
• Embargo Act, 1807 attempted to
end conflict but did more harm than
good as the graph shows
• many Americans demanded war to stop British interference &
restore economic liberty
As for Mr. Madison . . .
he won “his” war but learned an important lesson
that the United States cannot ignore world events!
