Napoleon gets mad and insists Russia to stop all trade with the independent US traders as they're being coerced into being illegal traders for Great Britain's hemp.
Russian Scar says "Nyet!" despite his treaty with France, and turns a blind eye to the illegal US traders, probably because he needs all the other shit the Americans are bringing him, well as the gold he is getting from the US (which are illegal purchases of hemp for Britain).
Napoleon's mad and invades Duchy of Warsaw. Napoleon tells Czar to stop trade with the US, Czar responds by withdrawing out of that one treaty where require him to stop selling goods to neutral US ships.
Napoleon furious with the Czar for allowing hemp to reach England builds his army and invades Russia, planning to punish the Czar and stop hemp from reaching the British Navy.
England, ally with Russia again, still stopping American ships from trading with the rest of the Continent. Brits also blockade US traders from Russia at the Baltic Sea and insists that American traders have to now secretly buy other strategic goods for them, specifically from Napoleon and his allies on the Continent, who are happy to sell anything to raise capital.
The United States, cut off from 80% of it's Russian hemp supply, debates war in Congress but the majority for war were western states. The rep of the maritime states, fearful of the loss of trade, argue against war, even though their shipping, crews, and states that are allegedly afflicted.
No one senator from maritime states votes for war with Great Britain, wheras all western senators vote for war, hoping to take Canada from Britain and fulfill their dream of expanding borders, but mistaken belief that Brits are too busy with European wars against Napoleon to protect Canada.
interesting fact: Kentucky, a big supporter of the war which disrupted the overseas hemp trade, was actively building up it's own domestic hemp industry.
1812, American ships could pick up hemp from Russia and return with it three times faster and cheaper than shippers could get hemp from Kentucky to East Coast over land.
The western states win in Congress, and on June 18, 1812, the US is at war with Britain.
US enters war along the side of Napoleon who marches on Moscow, but Napoleon soon defeated in Russia by the harsh winter, the Russian scorched earth polich, long story short, pretty much the same way Germans fuct up during ww2.
Brits, after initial success in war with the US (including the burning of Washington in retaliation for the earlier American burning of Toronto, then the colonial Canadian capitol, [
@conor mcgregor nut hugger is right]) finds its finances and military stretched thin (blockades, war in Spain n France, touch American Navy) agrees to peace, and signs a treaty with the US in December, 1814.
Britain agrees it will never interfere with American shipping and the US agrees to giving up all claims to Canada forever.
