impressment  

Definición

  • Throughout the 18th and into the early 19th century, impressment, the practice of seizing men to serve in the Royal Navy, was a major American grievance, contributing to the origin of both the American Revolution (1775–83) and the War of 1812 (1812–15). The violation of seamen's rights and the concurrent damage done to American trade helped to unite many of the colonists and, later, the citizens of the young United States in taking up arms against Britain. [Source: Encyclopedia of War & American Society; Impressment]
