Answer:

The embargo act.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the embargo act in the early 1800s, President Jefferson created the embargo act, meaning the US was not to trade or sell goods to any foreign country. This caused sailors to lose their jobs, along with farmers getting less money for their goods.
