the attacks that the British lead against the American forces is that they seized the American ships and they kidnapped American sailors.
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.
Shanghai was one place that sailors were taken to, many from San Francisco.
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.

In the relatively brief interval between the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, Britain had not fully accepted that America had become an independent nation rather than a British colony, and it seized American sailors in order to impress them (or draft them, as we would say in more modern language) into the British navy, which was always in need of more sailors.
Conditions in the Royal Navy were awful, which lead some sailors to desert the British navy and join the American navy. Many American sailors were taken hostage by the British.
