Oppressing you???
How is that?
If you mean that the British were not allowing you to trade with Napolean, you would be correct.
Britain had told the USA to stop aiding and supplying Napolean, but the USA didn't listen. The us figured it had every right to trade with a homicidal dictator intent on conquoring all of Europe.
If you wade into a war (Britain verses Napolean) you have to expect consequences. That's hardly oppression.
I wonder how the USA would react if France was aiding and supplying Saddam Hussein recently? Do you not think that the the USA would not prevent France from shipping aid and supplies to Iraq???
Not quite.
