During the early 1800's, the issues between the United States and Britain included: the impressment of American sailors (notably in the Chesapeake Affair), infringement on American trade rights, refusal to remove British soldiers from forts surrendered to the Americans at the end of the Revolutionary War, and British support of Indian raids on the American frontier.
These issues led to the American declaration of war on Britain in 1812 (War of 1812), which both nations believed was the other's fault and ended in a draw. At the end of the war, none of the issues which caused it were addressed in the peace treaty, but they declined anyways (mostly due to the end of the Napoleonic Wars in Europe). By the end of the 19th century, the British and Americans had grown closer and were no longer experiencing diplomatic problems.
