Impressment is when the people were taken from one ship and made to work on another. This has also happened in history when men were forced to join the military. As far as the British in the 1800's, they would stop American merchant ships and basically kidnap men from their ship then take them and make them work on the British ships. They did this to replinish their crews and ended up being one of the final straws that led to the war of 1812.
