The war of 1812 was the war between America and the Great Britain. IN 1807 a British ship fired on An american ship the sea and removed three American sailors in search of their own citizens that might be escaping from military service and this was in violation of the rights of Neutrals to move on the sea during war times between countries.

The south Carolina's who where in support of the war of 1812 so this and several stoppage of American ships by both France and England as an Insult on America i.e a disregard for American independence and that was why they supported the war . the embargo of 1807 made by united states congress couldn't resolve the problem because it harmed the Americans more than Britain and France
