A restriction passed by Congress on March 1, 1809, before the War of 1812, to forbid direct American trade with European belligerents and in response to British control of American trade. It was used as a coercive measure to deprive France and England of the American commercial market until they resolved their economic warfare and returned to neutral trade policies.
