Detailed explanation-1: -In the months before the war, Americans interpreted the ongoing British practice of stopping American merchant vessels as implying that the United States was not an equal in international relations. Such an insinuation was vexing for Americans, as it seemed to discount their victory over Britain in the Revolution.
Detailed explanation-2: -The War of 1812 (1812-15) was fought between the United States and Great Britain, primarily over the impressment of American sailors by the British Navy, as well as disagreements over trade, western expansion, and Native American policy. The war ended inconclusively after three years of fighting.
Detailed explanation-3: -Impressment is the practice of forcing people to serve in the army or navy. This practice upset the Americans because the British would come onto the American ships and they would take back the British that had escaped, but sometimes they would even take the American sailors.
