The United States as a neutral nation was aggrieved by the action of the British Government in stopping American vessels from trading with the Continent, unless they first put into British ports, and also by the search exercised on board them by British cruisers, and by the dragging out of deserters who had forsaken the British for American service. In 1812, indeed, the Orders in Council were repealed, but it was then too late to avert war, which had already been declared by the United States. ...The American navy was composed of very few ships but these were larger and better armed than British ships, nominally of the same ('lass. British captains were so certain that they could take whatever they tried to take, that the) laid their ships alongside of American vessels much more powerful than their own. The result was that one British ship after another was captured. The tide was turned by Captain Broke of the k Shannon, ' who courteously invited the captain of the American 1812-1S15 WAR WITH THE UNITED STATES 873 frigate the ' Chesapeake ' to come out to fight in the open sea.
