In 1807, the U.S. Congress passed the Embargo Act to prohibit American ships from trading with foreign ports. Championed by President Thomas Jefferson, the embargo was enacted in response to British and French interference with American trade during the Napoleonic Wars. The act banned exports from the U.S. in an effort to avoid potential entanglement in the broader European conflict. https://lawforeverything.com/embargo-act-1807/
