The Embargo Act/ Suppression of American Trade/Impressment

Jefferson

The British ultimately feared Jefferson more than Napoleon, who had opened trade to British shipping

He hoped to pressure France and Britain into respecting American neutrality

Jefferson advocated the embargo as a mean of "peaceful coercion"

British Rule of 1756

Americans response to the Rule was the "broken voyage", by which American vessels would carry sugar from the French to American ports and then reexport it as American produce

France usually restricted the sugar trade to French ships during peacetime

Any trade closed in peacetime could not be reopened during the war.

Impact on US

Financial disaster for the Americans because the British were able to export goods to America

All areas of the US suffered

The Embargo effectively throttled American overseas trade
