What were the results of the congress attempt to rid the mistakes or the embargo act?

Answer 1

The results of the Congress' attempt to address the mistakes of the Embargo Act included the passing of the Non-Intercourse Act in 1809, which lifted the embargo on all nations except for Britain and France. This allowed trade with other nations to resume, but it did not fully alleviate the economic impact of the embargo. Eventually, the Non-Intercourse Act was replaced by the Macon's Bill No. 2 in 1810, which reopened trade with Britain and France but stated that if either nation repealed their trade restrictions, the United States would re-impose its embargo on the other nation. Ultimately, neither British nor French restrictions were lifted, and the United States was once again caught in a difficult economic situation.
