may 1, 1810 - To replace the Nonintercourse Act, Congress
passes Macon's Bill Number 2, which allows
American ships to carry French or English
goods while barring belligerent powers from

Description:
The bill further promises to renew nonintercourse with one of the two belligerent nations if the other withdraws its decrees. Trade with France and Britain is restored so long as the European nations respect American trade rights.
