1.) Embargo Act of 1807 started on December 22, in response to British impressment and other aggressive behavior towards the United States. This law was aimed at American shippers and their vessels. The plan ended up being a financial disaster seeing that the British were still able to export goods to America. Legislation lifted the Embargo Act in 1809 lifted the embargo. ---En.wikipedia.org/wiki/embargo-act-of-1807 2.) This law stopped all trade between America and any other country. The goal was to get Britain and France, who were fighting each other at the time, to stop restricting American trade. The Act backfired, and the American people suffered. The American people couldn’t get trade for their crops and other utilities. --- www.socialstudiesforkids.com/wwww/us/embargoactdef.htm 3.) The Embargo Act took place in ports of the other countries but mostly the United States’ ports. The ports were on the side of countries land so trade was on the side on lands. Also it took place mostly on Atlantic Ocean on ship. This act took place between 1807 and 1809.  4.) The act was President [|Thomas Jefferson] 's response to British and French interference with neutral United States merchant ships during the [|Napoleonic Wars]. In 1809 when the Embargo Act was lifted British continued to interfere with United States shipping led to the War of 1812. The War of 1812 was between United States and Britain. The War of 1812 a series of trade restrictions introduced by Britain to stop American trade with Frace. ---  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_1812 5.) The embargo had little effect in Europe. Europe couldn’t trade with the United States but they could still trade with every other country. It imposed an unpopular restriction on New England merchants and exporters. The United States Congress in December 1807 closed United States ports to all exports and restricted imports from Britain. --- www.answers.com/topic/embargo-act-of-1807
