When the United States created the Embargo Act, the factors of production increased.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, President Thomas Jefferson tried to maintain the neutrality of the United States in the Napoleonic wars: he refused to choose between Great Britain and France.
In the face of British aggression on US ships (as a way to block trade between the US and France), Jefferson passed the Embargo Act on December 22, 1807: no foreign boat would be able to enter or leave American ports. This measure had an unexpected consequence: the beginnings of the industrialization of the United States. Indeed, since trade with Europe was broken, it was necessary to produce what the country needed on the spot. Thus, factories and industries multiplied, increasing the American factors of production.
