Both Adams and Jefferson had to face the rising conflict between France and Great Britain during their presidency. Adams' response was to build a small navy to protect U.S. ships until a compromise could be reached. A few years later, the problems started again. This time, Jefferson passed the Embargo Acts to remove U.S. ships from the danger. In the space below, identify which policy you would have supported and why.

Answer:

I support Jefferson's actions because obviously what Adams did didn't work and it served as no aid to the situation - it only worked as a temporary fix when they needed a permanent solution for the ongoing conflict between France and great Britain. Jefferson basically removed the problem altogether when he removed the us ships
