here you go

The diplomatic neutrality of the United States was tested during the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815). The warring nations of Britain and France both imposed trade restrictions in order to weaken each other's economies. These restrictions also disrupted American trade and threatened American neutrality. As time went on, British harassment of American ships increased. Controversial measures included British impressment of American men and seizure of American goods. After the Chesapeake Affair in June 1807, pitting the British warship Leopard against the American frigate Chesapeake, President Thomas Jefferson faced a decision regarding the situation at hand. Ultimately, he chose an economic option to assert American rights: The Embargo Act of 1807.

Impressment

Although not restricted to the presidential administrations of Jefferson and James Madison, the on-going impressment of American sailors became a key issue for the United States during the Napoleonic Wars. After witnessing the horrors of war with France, many British sailors deserted His Majesty's navy and enlisted in the American merchant marines. In order to retrieve the deserters, British "press gangs" came aboard American ships. The British, however, tended to take anyone who could pass as a British soldier – unless the sailor could prove his American citizenship. Approximately 1,000, out of the estimated 10,000 men taken from American ships, were proven to have British citizenship.1

James Madison had summed up the contrasting points of view in an 1804 letter to James Monroe:

1. How have the Iliad and the Odyssey contributed to an understanding of ancient Greece? Write your response in two to three com
Savatey [412]

1. What is important about these two parts of Greek history and literature is that it is very studied by the modern West, in the aspiration to define its own culture, as the successor to Greek culture. All subsequent events in Greek history were observed and comparable with these two Homer's works. It only says how important it is for the Greeks and later for modern civilization. The great contribution to the understanding of the ancient civilization, these works give, through the descriptions of honor and struggle for the adopted ideals, with the prize for honor and virtue, glory. Dying without glory is a disaster. This can be seen through the Odyssey and the Trojan War described in Ilijad.

2. The geographical characteristics of the peninsula forced the Greeks to live in isolated communities. Ancient Greece consisted of many independent cities of the states. The cities were separated by mountains, hills and water. In such conditions there was no possibility of agriculture, or very little. That is why the ancient Greeks relied on the journey of the sea and thus contributed to the spread of Greek culture.
