Answer 1

The English remained in western forts, and Americans sailors were being pressed into service abroad British ships.

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of the treaty of Paris stated that the British had to abandon their forts in the west, but vague wording never specified an exact date that they had to be gone by, which led to the United States feeling threatened by their presence. Additionally, the bristish practice of British ships kidnapping Americans and forcing them into service, known as impressment, angered many americans.
