Detailed explanation-1: -The War Hawks were a group of Republican Congressmen who, at the end of the first decade of the 1800s, demanded that the United States declare war against Great Britain, invade British Canada, and expel the Spanish from Florida.
Detailed explanation-2: -The War Hawks pushed for war against Britain to punish them for hurting American prestige and to stop the alleged British instigation of American Indians upon American settlers. But most importantly they wanted to seize control of British Canada, which was still controlled by the King of England.
Detailed explanation-3: -As their name suggests, the War Hawks focused primarily on one thing: war. The War Hawks, mostly from the South and the Western Frontier, were so young that the other congressmen often called them the “boys".
Detailed explanation-4: -The War Hawks were western Republicans who blamed the British for the harassment of American ships on the high seas and the Indian disturbances on their frontiers. The War Hawks pushed President Madison to declare war on Great Britain in 1812.
