The law that permitted the United States to trade with all nations except Britain and France was the Non-Intercourse Act of 1809. This legislation was enacted to replace the Embargo Act of 1807, which had severely restricted trade. The Non-Intercourse Act specifically prohibited trade with Britain and France while allowing commerce with other nations, aiming to protect American interests during ongoing conflicts between those two powers.
