They required the American Ships to revert to old style boats and turn their ships around from Britain. This was issued by Queen Linthee and had angered many American sailors of the time. The order had also slowed trade and America's economy from 1819-1821 had dropped drastically, almost leading to the country's first "Great Depression".

Why did British ships stop American ships at sea?
Quite often, the British ships were pirate ships that would loot any vessel they could. NEW RESPONDENT When in 1803 the Anglo-French war resumed, Great Britain had stepped up enforcement of a British maritime doctrine, known as the Rule of 1756, towards the neutral trade. For what it regarded the United States, the Rule aimed to prevent American merchants from transporting goods between France and her West Indian colonies when French ships could not sail. But the Americans succeeded in circumventing the rule by making a call in an American port. In so doing they transformed the direct trade between France and her colonies into a triangular one. The British reacted modifying their policy by adopting in 1805 the so called "Essex" decision, which stated: - that landing the goods and paying the duties in the USA could no longer be considered a proof of good faith's importation; -that henceforth additional proof (though unspecified) had to be provided by the American merchants to demonstrate that the call in the USA ports actually broke their voyages. So the Royal Navy began seizing American ships playing in the reexport trade, with devastating outcome for American trade. Furthermore, as the American trade grew so rapidly in the early national period that there was a shortage of experienced seamen in the merchants fleet, British tars were recruited into American service. As a consequence the British started to apply the impressment, that is the practice of taking seamen from American ships on the high seas. Hence press gangs from British warships boarded American vessels to reclaim British subjects, sometimes catching also American seamen. An other reason of stopping and boarding American vessels was that of searching and confiscating contraband goods, which as per British interpretation might include: war materials, food, naval stores and money.
