The year was 1810 and tensions between Britain and the U.S. were high, with war on the way. The British had been arming the Indians in order to help them raid settlements. The picture above shows the warming up to a fight and preparing. Both the U.S. and Britain have annoyed one another, but war has not yet been declared. Both have throw punches, a fight is evident, the only question is when. With the British being so close in Canada, competition is inevitable and disscontempt for one another only grows. This will continue to go on until the British start sinking U.S. trade ships and impressing sailors. As it's well known, whenever one of America's ships are sunk, war is started.
