Our country has not been treated with respect or fairly since our early days. Even with our independence, Britain is trying to control us with things such as impressment. We must declare war with Britain to show our independence and gain respect as a country, and to show the true strength and greatness of our country (1). Our country cannot succeed with all our borders being encroached (2), and we cannot let Britain control any source of revenue, which will hurt our economy, and the country as a whole (3).
