The British took over many American ships and captured about 5,000 people over the time period of 6 years. Of the 5,000 approximately 1,300 of them were Americans. These people were forced to work for Britain and join their military.

What was the impressment and how did it help cause the war of 1812?

Impressment was the British practice of forcibly recruiting American sailors into the Royal Navy, often claiming they were British deserters. This violation of American sovereignty and the rights of its citizens fueled growing resentment towards Britain. Many Americans viewed impressment as a direct affront to their national honor, contributing to increasing tensions and ultimately helping to ignite the War of 1812. Alongside other grievances, such as trade restrictions and territorial disputes, impressment played a significant role in rallying public support for the conflict.
