What was the result of the embargo Jefferson declared against Britain in 1807? A. It caused a substantial increase in profits for American merchants.

B. It allowed American farmers to export goods to foreign markets.

C. It disrupted the British economy and closed British factories.

D. It angered American voters and led to increased Federalist support.

Option D, is the right answer.

Explanation:

It angered American voters and led to increased Federalist support.

The Embargo Act of 1807 was a law enacted by the Congress of the United States and signed by the then President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. This law banned American vessels from selling in all foreign harbors. The law was inflicted in response to infringements of U. S. neutrality, in which American ships and their shipload were seized as the plunder of war by the European armadas. Therefore, this law prevented American ships from moving their harbors until Britain and France consented to stay seizing them at sea. The Federalists and leaders of Connecticut's ruling party take advantage of the situation by opposing this act of Jefferson and pulling Americans towards Federalists' ideology.
