How did the great Britain react to the proclaimation of American neutrality in 1793?

Great Britain reacted to the proclamation of American neutrality in 1793 with skepticism and concern. They viewed the U.S. neutrality as potentially beneficial to France during the ongoing war between Britain and revolutionary France, which could undermine British interests. Consequently, Britain sought to assert its naval dominance, leading to the impressment of American sailors and the seizure of American ships, further straining relations between the two nations. This tension ultimately contributed to the War of 1812.

What was impressment and why do you think it became such an issue between the U.S and Great Britain?

Impressment was the practice of forcibly recruiting sailors into the military service, particularly by the British Navy during the early 19th century. It became a significant issue between the U.S. and Great Britain because British forces would often seize American sailors, claiming they were British deserters. This violation of American sovereignty and individual rights fueled tensions, contributing to the War of 1812, as the U.S. sought to assert its independence and protect its citizens from foreign interference. The issue highlighted broader conflicts over trade, maritime rights, and national identity.
