Why did Britain justify its policy of impressing American seaman?
The British did not recognize the right of people to become naturalized citizens of a country that they had not been born in. Thus, the British considered any naturalized American citizen, who had been born in Great Britain, not to be an American citizen but a subject of the British Crown. Since conscription was the norm in Britain for all male subjects of the Crown, any subject of the Crown found on the high seas was subject to conscription. In other words, if you were born in Britain, you were subject to the British military draft, no matter where on earth the British Government found you or what country you called home.
