	Embargo Act of 1807 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Embargo Act of 1807 was an American law prohibiting all export of cargo from American ports.
		From the 1790s to 1807, American shippers enjoyed their status as the primary neutral carrier between France and England while both countries were engaged in the Napoleonic Wars, profiting as both Nations purchased American goods and ships.
		Congress passed the Embargo Act on December 22, 1807, by votes of 22-6 in the Senate and 82-44 in the House.

	Embargo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In international commerce and politics, an embargo is the prohibition of commerce and trade with a certain country.
		The embargo is usually used as a political punishment for some previous disagreed policies or acts, but its economical nature frequently leaves space enough for doubts about the real interests that the prohibition gives advantage to.
		Although the law of the United States does not prohibit participation in an embargo, it does prohibit participation in a secondary embargo.

	The Embargo Act of 1807
		Such an act was passed on the 22nd of December, 1807, by which all American and foreign vessels in our ports were detained and all American vessels abroad were ordered home immediately, that the seamen might be trained for the impending war in defence of sacred rights.

		This act was passed by Congress to protest British and French interference with American neutral shipping during the Napoleonic Wars.
		Before these acts, the British navy had already interfered with American shipping by stopping ships to draft sailors from their crews—a practice called "impressment." The British claimed they were impressing British subjects, but often American citizens were taken.
		In the last days of Jefferson's presidency, Congress replaced the Embargo Act with the almost unenforceable Non-Intercourse Act of March 1809, which prohibited trade only with Great Britain and France.
