In an effort to remain neutral during the war between Britain and France, Jefferson enacted the Embargo Act of 1807 which prohibited American ships from trading in all ports. In retaliation, France and England enacted laws prohibiting trade with neutral countries. French and British ships also began seizing American ships.
