Answer:

The English kidnapped American sailors.

Step-by-step explanation:

It did so because Britain refused to stop seizing American ships that traded with France—Britain's enemy in Europe. Sometimes there were also seizures of American sailors. ... Britain finally suspended its orders against neutral trade, after a change in government.
