Three Causes of the War of 1812
Storyboard Text
- HEY! YOU OVER THERE! YOU'RE A BRITISH SAILOR!
- This comic cell represents British impressment. Impressment is the act of forcing someone into government or military service. This started when Great Britain stopped ships to look for British sailors and/or soldiers. Eventually, instead of just taking in British soldiers, Britain started holding American soldiers captive as well.
- Well it doesn't matter anyway! YOU'RE COMING WITH ME.
- UGH! You have GOT to be kidding me!
- No..no... I'm not! I'm an American I swear!
- This cell represents the British aid to Native Americans. America found British guns on the Native Americans. This is when the Americans realized that Great Britain, was aiding their biggest enemy, the Native Americans. Since Britain still owned Canada, the Native Americans would go up to the border of Canada and the U.S. to receive help and aid from the British. Britain gave Native Americans weapons like guns.
- Yes, yes it is indeed.
- Are you serious right now?!
- AH! Is that gun a.. a...BRITISH GUN?!
- I cannot believe that grumpy ole' Great Britain would supply weapons to our biggest enemy!
- This represents British interference with shipping. Great Britain would stop American ships to look for weapons and goods. Anything that the country saw and wanted they would just take. This is how Britain interfered with American trade. British interference with shipping goes along with British impressment in many ways too!
- ARGH! GIVE US YOUR GOODS! FRANCE CAN'T HAVE THEM!
- WELL WATCH ME DO IT THEN!!
- What the heck man?!
- Noo...we are trying to ship these goods to france! You can't take these!
