Takeaway 4/2

Today during class we each made a speech to prove that the event we chose lead to the war of 1812. After everyone presented their speech I though first thinking the Orders of Council was the real cause, I changed my mind to the Chesapeak Affair. This is because Britain shot at American ships, picking a fight. This was impressment in itself, as they tried to kidnap the sailors, and it violated Britain soverty. They didn't have permission to do this, and it was completely uncalled for. You would think other countries would know not to mess with Americans by now.
