Oh! well that confirms my own fears about war with the British. Just out of interest did you try to negotiate a peace deal with them before you restarted?
The main issue the British seem to have with the US is my game is over the state of Maine. Every game turn they demand I hand it over to them and offer me various technologies instead, and every turn I tell them to stuff it. In the meantime they are massing several armies on the Delaware and I've seen fit to build a line for forts along the Canadian border with strong militia garrissons, but I suspect they would only act as a speed bump if the redcoats decided to attack.
Fingers Crossed!
