Talk:Embargo Act of 1807

message: The present wording of the article is awkward, approaching incomprehensibility.
In particular this period:
"The Embargo act was to strictly stay with the precedent George Washington set (the Neutrality Proclamation) doing this act let them stay well clear of the option of war, ..."

message: It looks like someone played a joke with this page.  Someone added the name "Mickey Moust" as a historical figure on this page.  Just thought I would report.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ylimesp (talk • contribs) 22:35, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

message: There is a problem of focus with the standard "Britain supreme on the sea, France on the land" in a context extending beyond the continental struggle. Does there exist any subtle manner for referring to "land" while restricting the suggestion to continental Europe ? --Askedonty (talk) 09:59, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

message: "The embargo, which lasted from December 1807 to March 1809 effectively throttled American overseas trade. All areas of the United States suffered. In commercial New England and the Middle Atlantic states, ships sat idle at the wharves, and in the agricultural areas, particularly in the South, farmers and planters could not sell their crops on the international market."
" 2005 study by economic historian Douglas Irwin estimates that the embargo cost about 5 percent of America's 1807 GNP."
This is laughable globalist propaganda. Great job, wikipedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.75.35.165 (talk) 14:40, 2 February 2019 (UTC)

message: According to the table on Insurrection Act of 1807, President Jefferson invoked the Act in 1808 to help enforce the Embargo Act on Lake Champlain. Sounds like there's more to the story there. -- Beland (talk) 22:19, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
