War between Great Britain and the United States was imminent and the American government asked the Spanish authorities of East Florida to permit an American occupation of the country in order that it might not be seized by Great Britain and made a base of military operations. President Madison, in secret sessions of the 12th Congress, unofficially ordered an invasion of East Florida under the direction of his agent, John Houston McIntosh, to whom Lt. Col. Smith reported. In the spring of 1812, American forces seized Feriandina, an action that was repudiated by the American government after protest from Spain, although it was authorized in official instructions.
