Answer:
First Question: The British navy removed american seamen and placed them under british control.
Second Question: Washington sent John Jay to resolve the issue with the British. Jefferson dealt with this by signing the Embargo Act of 1807.
Explanation:
The british were in need of soldiers and were forced to forcibly enlist seamen that were wandering within the area. This made americans outraged. Washington and Jefferson, both of different eras, dealt with this differently. Washington sent people to discuss with the British Parliament to stop as peaceful negotiations were made. However, Jefferson decided that trade should be stopped immediately as it was too dangerous to lose american men to british forces.
