It's really quite interesting actually, British sailors were leaving the Royal Navy and moving to the US to work on merchant ships. The sailors were granted citizenship, but with one of the many wars between Britain and France raging in the east the sailors were re-claimed. American ships were boarded and American citizens were arrested. After many warnings given the British continued this and then elevated to capturing American ships in attempts to stop them from trading with the French. The French then took up the act and captured ships. Congress then approved the arming of merchant vessels and sailors. After this new act the British began sending war-ships into American waters against several international codes set up prior. Congress then after long debates approved the declaration of war against the Mother Country for the second time in history.
