The answer is D!.

Neither England nor France were really hurt by the embargo!. However, the embargo put the merchants of the U!.S!. out of business because it essentially illegalized their trade!. It got so bad that the Federalists in the north (where merchants were mostly based) considered secession!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
