In 1810, Congress passed the Macon’s Bill No. 2, which aimed to resume trade with either Britain or France, depending on which nation lifted its restrictions against American shipping. The law was intended to pressure both countries into recognizing U.S. neutral trading rights. Ultimately, it was a strategic move during the Napoleonic Wars, reflecting the United States' desire to maintain its economic interests while navigating the tensions between the two European powers.
