Answer:

The statement is true. The Embargo Act of 1807 stopped trade with England, thus decreasing American production.

Explanation:

The Embargo Act of 1807 were legal measures taken by the United States of America that sought to restrict trade with foreign countries on the American coast. The laws were passed by Congress during the second government of President Thomas Jefferson.

The cause for the initiation of these measures was the so-called "Chesapeake-Leopard Affair" involving the British warship Leopard and the American frigate Chesapeake, which occurred under a British ban that did not want its trading partners to negotiate with France. Both European countries were at war, while the United States remained neutral, but negotiated in secret with both sides.

According to Jefferson, the British violated the rights of Americans on the high seas and embargo laws were passed in retaliation. These measures caused great damage to the American economy, which from an export of $ 108 million in 1807 to $ 22 million in 1808.

joja [24]
Federalists believe a strong central government is better than a stronger state government with a weak central government, like that in the Articles of Confederation. 
One example of the weakness of the Articles of Confederation, and of weak central governments, is the strong likelihood of state secession, as states are essentially independent entities under the Articles of Confederation.
Another example would be that the Articles of Confederation serve more as a treaty between separate states than a constitution of a unified populace. The ability of states to govern their populace without influential federal interference or regulation basically means they can do whatever they choose.

Dark Age does not actually refer to the time when people spent much of their time in darkness. It simply means that nothing came into light from the period when great civilizations came to an end.
