Answer 1

The unexpected results of Jefferson's Embargo Act included:

• It hurt the American economy.
• It further divided political parties.

While the Embargo Act aimed to pressure Britain and France by restricting trade, it did not have the intended effects on these nations and instead led to significant negative consequences for the American economy and increased divisions within American political parties.
