I believe canning was first used by the French during the Napoleonic wars.

The ones in Bermondsey must have nicked the process off the French.

The United States of America was at war with the United Kingdom (declared by USA in June 1812)

Considered in USA and Canada to be important, but in UK to be a trivial sideshow of the Napoleonic wars.
