THE DAMBARGO
And Why It Didn't Work
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     Political and economic conflicts in the early 1800's between America, France and Britain led the U.S. to a compromise in the form of the Embargo Act. Unfortunately, the act created further internal conflicts and failed to resolve any external ones. As further attempts at compromise failed, America came closer to the War of 1812.
