A Timeline Of The War Of 1812

  • The Stop and Search Tactics

    The stop and search tactics were unusual. A British Sailor would hop on board to an American boat and travel back to Britain. The question to ask is why? The Sailors were treated like peasants and given minimal wage and food. This angered the Sailors so they wanted a better life.
