I know the answer to this is. but, its not one of the answers on the test. Help please?

Well, the Non-Intercourse Act was passed in 1809 to forbid the U.S. from trading with Britain and France, so the countries would recognize U.S. trading rights. So, I guess you could say it was like saying to Britain and France, "Hey guys, we won't trade with you until you recognize our trading rights. Take that!"

To determine the purpose of the Non-Intercourse Act, we can break down the options provided:

1. to forbid the U.S. from trading with Britain and France so the countries would recognize U.S. trading rights
2. to allow U.S. merchants to resume trade with all countries except Britain and France
3. to limit the types of goods that U.S. merchants could trade with Britain and France
4. to allow U.S. merchants to trade only with Britain and France but not any other countries

To ascertain the correct answer, we need to understand historical context. The Non-Intercourse Act was an American law passed in 1809, replacing the controversial Embargo Act. The Embargo Act had prohibited all American trade with other nations, causing economic hardships. Therefore, the purpose of the Non-Intercourse Act was to modify the restrictions on trade and ease the economic strain caused by the Embargo Act.

Considering the options given, it is clear that the correct answer is option 2: to allow U.S. merchants to resume trade with all countries except Britain and France. This choice aligns with the intention of the Non-Intercourse Act to lift the trade restrictions imposed by the Embargo Act but still maintain restrictions on trade specifically with Britain and France.
