Answer 2

The best response of the options provided is: "Britain continued to battle with American ships at sea."

Step-by-step explanation:

Britain had been using a naval blockade in order to prevent trade with France, and the United States felt this was a violation of international law. To man the blockade, Britain pressed merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, including Americans using a called impressment. There was one event in particular called the Chesapeake–Leopard affair where a British ship boarded a US frigate looking for deserters from the Royal Navy. The British Royal Navy had been capturing American sailors who were British-born or who had once worked on British vessels to join the Royal Navy even if they were now American citizens. This tension led to an economic standoff between the USA and the UK called the Embargo Act of 1807 and ultimately lead to the War of 1812.
