Describe the major assumption of Jefferson's and Madison's foreign policies from 1800 to 1812. Show how the two presidents implemented these assumptions during their administrations
What will be an ideal response?
Jefferson and Madison assumed that Europeans needed American trade; therefore, the denial of this trade could be an effective diplomatic tool to force concession to serve American interests. (The economic boycotts of the 1760s were recalled to validate this assumption.) The assumption was implemented in the Embargo Act, Non-Intercourse Act, and Macon's Bill #2.
