Thomas Jefferson, prompted by tensions with both Britain and France, leads the enactment of the Embargo Act of 1807, a controversial policy aimed at restricting American trade with foreign powers. This act ultimately triggers economic turmoil in the United States and faces strong criticism, leading to its eventual abandonment a year later.
