Detailed explanation-1: -On June 1, 1812 President James Madison sent his war message to Congress. That message outlined what he believed to be America’s chief diplomatic grievances with Britain: impressment, the British Orders in Council, and Britain’s incitement of Indian warfare on America’s western frontier.
Detailed explanation-2: -The United States declared war on Britain in 1812. It did so because Britain refused to stop seizing American ships that traded with France-Britain’s enemy in Europe. Sometimes there were also seizures of American sailors.
Detailed explanation-3: -Madison was just as committed as Jefferson to staying out of the European war, and he continued to rely on economic pressure. The Non‐Intercourse Act of 1809 replaced the Embargo Act. The logic behind the law was that the United States would open its ports to all nations except Britain and France.
