Along with the embargo act was the non-intercourse act and Macon's Bill Number 2...if I'm not mistaken...I'm not sure how far apart they were made though
a mistake by congress in outlawing the slave trade was that they said 'states' in it. this meant it didnt apply to the district of columbia, and slave trade was allowed to continue there.
