Thanked: 3164Not only that Richard, but the war crossed the Atlantic to the States, mainly because the British Navy were forcibly impressing US citizens into the navy. The US would have preferred to stay out of it, so first of all they banned British goods, and later followed that by banning trade wit the UK and France. The main outcome of this was to upset US citizens, who relied on a healthy trade with the UK.
Because the British continued to take liberties and because the US continued to invade Canada - a British province, the US declared war on us in 1812.
