Question

The non-intercourse act led to trade hostilities with britain, which eventually led to war, when the embargo against this country was dropped by the u.s.

Answer 1

In the last sixteen days of President Thomas Jefferson's presidency, the Congress replaced the Embargo Act of 1807 with the almost unenforceable Non-Intercourse Act of March 1809. ... Like its predecessor, the Embargo Act, it was mostly ineffective, and contributed to the coming of the War of 1812.
