    Britain's tightening rules on neutral trade frustrated American merchants, and the British policy of impressment was particularly galling to Americans. Clay reasoned that because Canada was so vulnerable, an attack on the British colony would force Britain to make concessions on both issues. Grundy believed that by going to war the U. S. would drive Britain from our continent, add the Florida's to the South, and the Canadas to the North to the growing empire that would be the United States. Clay, however, wanted to punish Great Britain for seizing our ships.
