dec 22, 1807 - Embargo Act

Description:

The Embargo Act was an act that was passed by Thomas Jefferson. It prohibited American ships from trading in any foreign trading ports. The Embargo Act wasn't as effective as Jefferson thought because it caused agricultural prices and earnings to drop. It also affected shipping-related industries and made them devastated.
