One way that Jefferson's policies showed a continuation of the previous president's policies was on the area of the neutrality of the United States during the wars in Europe.
The United States took a neutrality stand from the time when the president was George Washington.
The neutrality policy was done to show America's stand concerning the raging war that had taken over Europe.
As president, Jefferson passed the embargo Act. This act banned the ships from Britain from all of the ports of the US. He also banned all trades from Europe.
This was done in order for the Europeans to respect the neutrality stand of the United States.
