c. 1813 War of 1812 Period, Apparently Unrecorded American Patriotic Verse Broadside Printed in Poem Form titled, “Yankee Management Or - A Lesson on John Bull” cataloguing various grievances between the United States and Great Britain that led to war being declared in 1812, Fine.
"Yankee Management Or - A Lesson on John Bull" is a title that doesn't surface in the American Antiquarian Society's Broadside Ballads project, the Massachusetts Historical Society's 1812 holdings, or Library of Congress listings. This War of 1812 Broadside apparently not in Shaw & Shoemaker; being apparently unrecorded and thus lacking in all collector and institutional collections materially raising value and collector interest. Its verse addresses the impressment of American sailors by British vessels, then recounts several American naval victories by the fledgling U.S. during the Revolutionary War to Perry's triumph at the Battle of Lake Eire. This Broadside measures about 9.5" x 7" the title being printed in large black typeset on wove period paper, the verse presented in two columns with a double-line divider. There are some tiny internal splits and pinholes in the upper portion, not seen until held against a strong light. The reverse is blank and it shows some humidity staining along the upper central portion as shown. The verse has extensive Patriotic lyrics also boasting of America's efforts to expand their naval fleet, encouraging the British to, in part;

"Use every endeavor / And strive to make a peace / For Yankee ships are building fast / Their navy to increase..." and makes further demands that the British stop impressing sailors from Yankee ships and attempting to restrict U.S. commerce; “Grant us free trade and commerce / Do not impress our men / Give up all claims to Canada / Then we’ll make peace again.” / “The Essex in the South Seas, Will put out all your lights, / The flag that waves at her mast head Is, Free Trade and Sailor’s rights.”
As the verse speaks of grievances prospectively impressment, it likely dates 1812-1813 and it celebrates specific victories such as Hull and the GuerriPROBLEM: ère, Perry on Lake Erie, possibly from Boston (Nathaniel Coverly's shop was prolific), New York, and rural New England presses. A War of 1812 Broadside apparently not in Shaw & Shoemaker; being apparently unrecorded and lacking in all collector and institutional collections.
