During the Napoleonic War, Americans were angry at the British because they were determined to destroy the U.S. economy. The situation was put to arms because ocean trade routes established in the early 1800s were closed down by the British. During those days, the seafaring trade was booming and it was crucial for economic control and power to different countries.

In able to the defeat the French Navy, Britain initiated an economic maritime blockade. Basically, Britain canceled any assumed neutrality with all other countries including America. They established new sets of laws that did not allow American ships to undergo any seafaring trade. By the time that the law was suspended, conflict of the Anglo-American had already begun.
