GREAT NAVAL DISPLAY !!!As 1805 progressed, tensions between the United States and Britain increased. America had declared herself a neutral country in the conflict between Britain and France. Britain's blockade of France, her impressment of American sailors, and her confiscation of American ships had pitted the new nation against one of the most powerful maritime nations in the world. After France's defeat at the Battle of Trafalgar in October 1805, Britain's dominance at sea was unquestionable, and indignities to American merchant shipping increased to a disastrous level. From 1800 to 1805, fifty-nine American merchant ships had fallen captive to Britain; from 1805 through 1807, four hundred and sixty-nine ships, or approximately half the merchant fleet, fell into British hands.President Jefferson saw two alternatives for solving the growing crisis: war or economic embargo. Not prepared for war, he called for a cessation of trade with those countries who interfered with American commerce. At Jefferson's request, Congress imposed the embargo in December 1807. Jefferson saw this as an appropriate response to the economic warfare being practiced against the United States by both Britain and France.Good condition.
