The War Hawks were a group of Congressmen who were displeased with the fact that Great Britain had been interfering with American trade, and they believed Britain was also encouraging Native Americans to attack U.S. settlers. They wanted the United States to declare war on Great Britain. By attacking Britain, the War Hawks believed that the United States could successfully invade Canada and possibly Florida. The War Hawks included Henry Clay of Kentucky and John C. Calhoun of South Carolina.
