Question

What effects did the embargo act of 1807 have on American industry?

Select all that apply
Increased international completion
Forced U.S. to become more self-reliant
Decreased demand for workers
Increased growth of factories

Answer 1

The Embargo Act of 1807 was basically a ban on trade between the United States and their foreign nations. Since the United States couldn't trade with anyone, it forced the United States to produce and make use of their own supply.

Therefore, the Embargo Act of 1807 forced the United States to become more self-reliant and it increased the growth of our factories.
