The war of 1812 was just another yanqui land-grab

To say that it was nothing else is just being silly.

As for what you generously just term "harrasment" of sailors, seizing control of naval ships on the high seas and impressing sailors into servivce in a different navy was an act of war then and would still be an act of war now.
