American Exports Let's look at the value of American exports through this time period so that you can see just how much effect these different events had on the export values. Year Export Value 1794 $ 33 million 1801 $ 94 million 1803 $ 54 million 1807 $ 108 million 1808 $ 22 million 1811 $ 61 million 1814 $ 7 million Important Dates: British-French Wars 1793-1801 British-French Truce 1801-1803 British-French Wars 1803-1814 Embargo Act 1807-1809 War of 1812 1812-1814 Activity 1 For this activity you will need the Baltimore and the War of 1812 Activities Worksheet. Ask your teacher for a printout of the Worksheet if you don't already have one. On your Worksheet, make a line graph by charting the export values. When your graph is completed, look at your graph and the important dates. Using what you have learned about the causes of the War of 1812, and the graph you have just created, describe the impact of the British-French Wars, the period of truce, and the Embargo Act on American exports.
