Question

why was the embargo act considered a disaster? select select france invaded florida and britain recaptured parts of florida. britain simply bought goods from other countries while the u.s. economy suffered. the embargo worked too well and a jealous britain declared war on u.s. to get money.

Explanation:

The Embargo Act of 1807 was meant to restrict trade with Britain and France, but Britain could still get goods from other countries, while the U.S. economy (especially shipping and trade - related sectors) suffered due to lost trade opportunities. The other options are incorrect: France and Britain's actions regarding Florida aren't related to the Embargo Act's failure, and Britain didn't declare war on the U.S. because of the embargo's success (the War of 1812 had other causes). So the correct reason is that Britain simply bought goods from other countries while the U.S. economy suffered.

Answer:

Britain simply bought goods from other countries while the U.S. economy suffered.
