Here is the completed text with the correct answers from each drop-down menu:
During Britain's war with France in the 1800s, the British interfered with US trade by issuing Orders in Council that severely restricted US trade with France and its allies. The British also raided US merchant ships and impressed US sailors to work in the British navy. President Thomas Jefferson introduced the Embargo Act to make the British respect US rights, but his efforts failed. As Britain continued the practice of impressment, tensions between the United States and Britain continued to rise. Following the Chesapeake-Leopard incident, in which the British navy fired on an American frigate and killed several American sailors, President James Madison asked Congress to declare war on Britain. The United States declared war on Britain on June 18, 1812.
