The Chesapeake incident, where the British warship HMS Leopard attacked the American frigate USS Chesapeake in 1807, heightened tensions between the United States and Britain, impacting maritime trade and security. In the Maritimes, this incident amplified anti-British sentiment and concerns over naval aggression, leading to increased local support for American maritime policies. Additionally, the incident contributed to a decline in trade as American ships were deterred from navigating British-controlled waters, affecting the economy of the Maritime provinces. Overall, it underscored the vulnerabilities of maritime communities in the face of international conflict.
