So the bottom line was there was tension between 10 and spain, and there was one incident in particular that later gave this conflict its name. And you will think, that is an odd day. The war of jenkins ear, where did that come from . The rebecca was one of the ships that had been seized by the spanish, a british merchant ship, and the captive of the captain of that ship was robert jenkins, and in the process of being or day, his ear was cut off. Jenkins took it upon himself to carry the ear around, he would put in a jar, may be taken to a bar to get free drink, i dont know. But to jenkins, that ear was symbolic. He had a cut off in 1741, and you can see in the cartoon here he is talking to the Prime Minister, and he is taking off his wig to show his ear. The primary string is dismissing him.
