What was the Chesapeake incident and what issue did it involve?
The Chesapeake Incident occured on Dec. 7, 1863 when a group of Confederates seized the ship Chesapeake-which was making run between New York and Portland. On December 16, in St. Margaret's Bay, Nova Scotia, two Northen warships captured the Chesapeake.
Why did the HMS Leopard attack the US frigate Chesapeake?
The HMS Leopard attacked the US frigate Chesapeake in 1807 because the British were searching for deserters from the Royal Navy who they believed were on board the Chesapeake. When the commander of the Chesapeake refused to allow a search to take place, the Leopard fired upon the American ship, causing casualties and damage. This incident contributed to the growing tensions between the United States and Britain and eventually led to the War of 1812.
What was the American ship that was fired on by Britain in 1807 nearly leading to war between the two countries?
The USS Chesapeake. This is remembered as the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair. The HMS Leopard fired on the Chesapeake on June 22, 1807.
What prompted the Embargo Act?
When the Anglo-French war resumed in 1803, America was caught in between the two nations. They obviously wanted to trade with both sides and make profit. Then came the Chesapeake Incident in June of 1807. The Leopard (British ship) ordered a U.S. frigate (war ship) to let them search the ship. The commander of the Chesapeake refused, and the Leopard open fired, killing three Americans. US citizens wanted a war with Britain, but Jefferson believed that the country wasn't prepared and international law should settle issues between the U.S. and Britain. Hope this somewhat helps :)
