=== Embargo relates to the Jefferson presidency because when Britain and France were at war, they were not respecting America's neutrality and they were taking and raiding America's ships. When this happened, Jefferson suggested __Embargo.__ This was accepted, and in 1807 congress passed the __Embargo__ Act. Not many liked the﻿ __Embargo__ Act, esspecially in New England, beacause trading with forign countries was their main﻿ business. Finally in 1809 congress repealed the __Embargo__ Act. ===
