Answer 2

Answer:

They seized American merchant ships

Explanation:

The declaration of neutrality of the United States was a document stating that the United States would not be involved, nor would it assist the war initiated by France and Great Britain. The US government made that decision because the country was very young and yet it was not strong enough to engage in a conflict with European nations.  Britain did not agree with the American position and in retaliation decided to seize American merchant ships.
