    Wimer 1970 VOL. XXXVIII No. I VERMONT History The 'PROCEEDINGS of the VERMONT HISTORICAL SOCIETY Smuggling into Canada; How the Champlain Valley Defied Jefferson's Embargo by H. N. MULLER HEN Britain resumed open hostilities against France in 1803, the W relative tranquillity of Anglo-American relations was among the first casualties. By 1805, after Napoleon's success at AusterlilZ and Nel­ son's decisive victory at Trafalgar, the contest became a stalemate. With the French dominating the Continent and the British the sea, neither side could afford to observe the amenities of neutral rights. Britain took steps to close the loop-holes by which American merchantmen evaded the notorious orders-in-eouncil. and her navy renewed in earnest its harassing and degrading practice of impressing American citizens. III feeling and tension mounted as Anglo-American relations disinte­ grated. Then in late June 1807 tbe British frigate uopard fired on the United States Frigate Chesapeake, killing three American seamen and wounding eighteen others, and a party from the Leopard boarded the American warship and removed four alleged British deserters. The Chesapeake affair precipitated an ugly crisis. Americans, now more united in hostility toward Britain than at any time since the Revolution, demanded action from their government.l President Thomas Jefferson responded with the Embargo Act, hastily pushed through a special session of Congress and signed in December 1807. Jefferson held the illusory hope that by withholding its produce and its merchant marine, tbe United States would forcc Britain and c"en I. Burl. Th~ Uniud S/a'~.
