<p>I write notes from using information from the book, here is an example:</p>
<p>Embargo Act 1807 [Page 241 | Political] –
Definition: Based off of “peaceable coercion”. If Britain and France refused to respect the rights of neutral carriers, then the United States would keep its ships at home.
*Slightly damaged the British Economy</p>
<p>*Caused anger over the colonists “Ograbme”</p>
<p>*Jefferson underestimated how Economics worked; He thought it would have the same effect as the old Acts</p>
<p>*Colonists refused to obey these laws</p>
<p>*Congress used more laws and rules to try and enforce this law including a local militia</p>
<p>*Northern States & Lake Champlain residents hated the Embargo</p>
<p>*The act failed and was repealed soon after Madison was in power</p>
<p>*Sailors & Artisans were thrown out of work.</p>
<p>Cause: Great Britain was seizing ships that went out to ocean to trade with the French and vice versa. </p>
<p>Summary: The Embargo Act was an act passed by Jefferson which he thought would fix the problems of America’s neutrality rights but he underestimated the process of economics. This in turn barely weakened the British empire and increased the Bankruptcy of America. </p>
<p>But I just can't tell what parts are actually important for the test??</p>
<p>When my teacher puts his notes online all he writes is this</p>
