Embargo Act was lifted because of what it did to American economy. The Non- Intercourse act of 1809 was put in its place. This opened trade to all countries except Great Britain and France. Macon’s Bill #2 allowed for the US to open trade with France after it promised to respect our trade rights. </span>
