You might be talking about the War of 1812. One of its causes was the unlawful impressment of American sailors by the Brits; British warships simply stopped any American ship that comes its way, interrogated the sailors, and took the men and forced them to work on the ship. Of course, the Americans were enraged and so became one of the many issues that led to the war.
