Answer:
As an effect of the passing of the Embargo Act of 1807 by Thomas Jefferson, American production increased.
Explanation:
The Embargo Act of 1807 sought to restrict foreign trade on the American coast. This act was passed by Congress during the second administration of President Thomas Jefferson.
According to Jefferson, Great Britain violated the rights of the United States on the high seas and the Embargo Act was passed in retaliation. These measures caused great damage to the American Economy, that of an export of $ 108 million in 1807, went to $ 22 million in 1808. The acts were repealed at the end of the Jefferson administration, although, as a positive aspect, it encouraged the first attempts of American industrial production, which were boosted after the War of 1812.
