was repealed before Madison took office.

Answer 1

Jefferson's Embargo Act of 1807 damaged American commerce, caused economic hardship, and led to the revival of the Federalist Party. The repeal of the embargo in 1809 was too late to reverse the damage to Jefferson's presidential reputation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jefferson's Embargo Act of 1807 was an economic measure intended to avoid warfare and compel Great Britain and France to respect American neutrality by causing economic hardships for them. Instead, it had little impact on the targeted European countries, and devastated American shipping, leading to widespread economic hardship in the U.S. This policy failure revived the Federalist Party, which had been in decline, as they capitalized on the discontent with the Republican-led government's handling of the situation. The embargo was such a failure that Jefferson moved to repeal it in 1809, however, this action came too late to remedy the negative perceptions of his second term as president.
