Ch. 10.3 - Today’s Targets:

Analyze the causes & effects of the

War of 1812

Read, “Problems with France & England,” p. 353

• Why was Jefferson unable to keep the United States out of conflicts with other nations? Trade around the world put U.S. ships in constant contact with foreign countries.

• The British captured any ship bound for France.

• The French stopped all ships bound for Britain.

Jefferson’s Response

Instead of declaring war, he asked Congress to pass legislation that would stop all U.S. foreign trade – Embargo Act, 1807

• Described his policy as “peaceable coercion”

Jefferson’s Response

• How would Jefferson “force the British and French to respect American shipping?

Embargo Act of 1807

• No more foreign trade – Epic Fail!!

• Effects:

1) American farmers lost key markets for their products

2) Shippers lost income

3) Many chose to violate the embargo by making false claims about where they were going.

politically, but for economic independence:

• graph shows increasing

trade 1804 - 1807

• war between Britain & France

disrupted U.S. trade

• British impressed U.S. sailors

• Embargo Act, 1807 attempted to end conflict but did more harm than good as the graph shows

• many Americans demanded war to stop British interference & restore economic liberty
