Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Especially hurt New England's port cities

The Embargo act of 1807 was Enacted by the US on all foreign national with the intention of harming the United kingdom and France. The effect of this was to force these two nations to cease impressments and respect the US neutrality.

The act posed hardship on U.S. farmers and on New England and New York port cities. It had little effect on Europe.
