From 1803 to 1812, the country that impressed around 6,000 American sailors was Britain. During this period, British naval forces frequently boarded American ships to enforce impressment, a practice where they forced American sailors into the Royal Navy. This contributed to rising tensions between the United States and Britain, ultimately leading to the War of 1812.
The period of impressment of American sailors by the British primarily occurred in the early 19th century, especially between 1803 and 1812. This practice involved the British Navy forcibly recruiting American sailors under the pretext that they were British subjects. The issue of impressment contributed to rising tensions between the United States and Britain, ultimately leading to the War of 1812.

The impressment occured because pay was better in the merchant fleet than in the British Navy, and conditions were less brutal. Captains of the British Navy were always looking for replacements, and if they could not fill their company at a home port by recruitment they would send the "press gangs" to attack and grab sailors to work on British ships for free. Between 1803 and 1812 6,000 American sailors were impressed by the British.
