The Leopard and Chesapeake was an excellent example of impressment. Impressment was the forced recruitment of American sailors to the British Navy. The British warship (The Leopard) attacked the American warship (The Chesapeake). The reason they said they attacked was beacuse there were British navy deserters on the ship. Four innocent Americans were charged and one person was even executed on The Leopard. Impressment was a major problem until around 1815.
