The primary reason the Embargo Act of 1807 failed is that it **impacted U.S. trade more negatively than French or British trade.** The embargo aimed to exert pressure on Britain and France during the Napoleonic Wars by banning American exports, but it led to significant economic hardship in the U.S., while Britain and France managed to find alternative sources for goods. This backlash ultimately made the act unpopular and ineffective in achieving its goals.

The impact of the Battle of Tippecanoe was that **it ended any chance for a combined Native American resistance to American settlement.** The battle, which took place in 1811 between American forces led by Governor William Henry Harrison and Native American warriors associated with Shawnee leader Tecumseh, weakened the confederation of tribes that were resisting American expansion, ultimately diminishing their ability to coordinate a unified opposition.
