Answer:
Prohibition of trade with France and Britain
Step-by-step explanation:
The Embargo Act of 1807 was a general embargo enacted by the United States Congress. The law prohibits US ships from trading and interacting with foreign ships in foreign ports. The law was mainly aimed at French and British ships and was adopted in response to the seizure of U.S. ships suspected of having a smuggling war. The move was seen as a violation of American neutrality in the Napoleonic War. The 1807 embargo law was passed in retaliation for many seizures, but mostly the Chesapeake-Leopard affair.
