American Response• Embargo (1807)- Jefferson and Congress stopped all
trade• Non-intercourse Act (1809)- replaced the Embargo;
directed towards Britain and France; declared that the U.S. would resume trade with whichever country lifted its restrictions on the U.S.
• Macon’s Bill No.2- Restored trade, but said that if either nation lifted its restrictions, the U.S. would resume trade sanctions against the other– France said it would (but didn’t) and so the U.S.
imposed sanctions on Britain

Arguments For/Against War• Pro-War
– British impressment of American sailors and confiscation of American goods
– U.S. can take Canada– Britain is instigating the
Native Americans; eliminate the Indian threat
– American honor– Defend American
sovereignty– America must fight to take
its place as a great nation
• Anti-War– Political parties are pushing for
war– U.S. should not get involved in
a European war– France/Napoleon is even more
dangerous than Britian– Britain is our most important
trading partner– Britain and U.S. share a
common culture– America should not be looking
to fight a war so that it can expand into Canada
– U.S. is not strong enough
