Embargo debate and naval tension grip early 1800s Congress
Federal lawmakers clash over embargo policy and the risk of war with France and Britain. The debate covers neutrality, trade, and military preparations, with speeches from Massachusetts and New York members, a vote on restricting belligerent ships, and a call for defense measures. Reports from Savannah and Georgia gravitate to naval incidents and diplomatic dispatches.
