Question

Which act was passed in 1809 to replace the embargo act and what did it entail

Answer 1

March 1809, Congress repealed the Embargo Act of 1807. Jefferson signed the repeal before he left office. The Embargo Act was replaced by the Non-Intercourse Act, which didn't allow trade with only Britain and France.

Answer 2

The Non-Intercourse Act of 1809

Step-by-step explanation:

The Non-Intercourse Act was an act passed in 1809 to replace the Embargo Act of 1807.

This Act lifted the Embargos that were imposed on American shipping except for British and French ports.

The Act aimed to damage the economy of France and Britain. But it was ineffective, contributed to the war of 1812 and damaged the US economy.
