Answer 1

Answer:

Thomas Jefferson

Explanation:

With the escalation of problems with Britain, which threatened America by suspending shipping overseas, in the ensuing economic war Jefferson sought to pass a series of embargo laws  that only further harmed American trade. In 1807, President Jefferson inserted in the Act an article banning the importation of slaves into the United States.
