Embargo and the International Trade Law
Introduction to Embargo Act: (1807)
In the context of the legal history: Stopped the export of American goods and prohibited American ships from sailing to foreign ports during the Napoleonic War. It also prohibited foreign ships from carrying cargo out of American ports. Jefferson had hoped that the disruption to trade with France and England would force those countries to recognize American neutrality. Two years later the act was rewritten to just involve trade with Britain and France. Jefferson repealed the Act in 1809 since it was basically unsuccessful, but it was one of the reasons for the War of 1812.
