They marched across the land and burned four buildings, then retreated before any opposing forces could catch them. The took no ground and went back to where they started. They gained nothing. They tried to reconquer America and failed. Their most legendary general tried to tell them they couldn't win and and refused to lead their army when asked. Tell me again what they "took".

I would refer you back to the 'Chesapeake Incident' which started the thread I refered to. A British warship attacked an inferior American warship in peacetime and took four sailor off. One of them was a British runaway. The other three were Americans. Was that legal? The British took sailors off of American merchants with impunity. Was that legal?
