- I'm just.. shipping it... I have a deadline you know.
- Aha! Weapons, you really are helping the French!
- Weapons
- The United States wasn't picking a side in the French, and the British weren't happy about that. The British started to "impress" U.S. navy soldiers, a.k.a., kidnapping the soldiers and forcing them to work in British ships.
- Don't Give Up The Ship!
- Since Britain was already at war with the French, they couldn't do much to the United States. Instead, they aided the Native Americans by giving them weapons.
- The Native rebels are disbanding as well!
- Another victory! At this rate we'll take over Canada!
- The British interfered with shipping by inspecting the United States ships and looking for a hint that the United States might be aiding the French in secret while portraying a neutral side.
- Is that... The British Army??
- Oliver Hazard Perry won a victory over the British at the Battle of Lake Erie. Even though the Britsh had a much stronger navy, Perry held up a banner that said, "Don't Give Up The Ship!"
- The United States, being a new country, wanted more land, and of course, what is the nearest landmass that would certainly annoy the Britsh? Canda! The Battle of Thames was fought just one month after the Battle of Lake Erie, and The U.S. secured another victory. As a cherry on top, Tecumseh, the leader of the native rebels was killed and without their leader, the rebel natives were disorganized.
- In September of 1814, the British attacked Fort McHenry. They were ambushed, and the fight seemed to be in the British's favor, but the American soldiers did not give up and rose the United States flag. This was seen by Francis Scott Key, who of course, created the famous Star-Spangled Banner.
