Read the excerpt below from Theodore Roosevelt's book "The Naval War of 1812."

Great Britain's doctrine was "once a subject always a subject." On the other hand, the United States maintained that any foreigner, after five years' residence within her territory, and after having complied with certain forms, became one of her citizens as completely as if he was native born. Great Britain contended that her war ships possessed the right of searching all neutral vessels for the property and persons of her enemies.

What is Roosevelt's perspective in this excerpt?

Great Britain was the one making decisions about who was British and who was American.

He is protesting England's foreign policies regarding imports and exports.

He is scolding England for feeling free to stop any ship they want and no one can do anything about it.

He is scolding England for promoting warfare instead of peace and tranquility.
