Thomas Jefferson saw the Embargo Act of 1807 as a way to avoid war. He wanted to keep the United States out of the conflict as long as possible. The system was tightened to require bonds from foreign ships who were involved in the coastal trade. Exporting of goods of any sort by land or sea was forbidden. One of the negative effects of the embargo was an increase in smuggling. Port authorities were empowered to seize cargo if there was suspicion of violation and he had the power to use the military for enforcement.
