The War Hawks were a small group of southern and western congressmen who convinced the House into supporting a declaration of war against Britain. These young, vocal members were outraged by the British practice of impressment (kidnapping) of American sailors, and the British practice of requiring trade with Britain being carried only on British ship,s which was crippling the American economy.

The War Hawks felt the diplomatic strategies of Presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were unsuccessful, and confident that Britain would yield to U.S. demands if it saw that America was seriously considering military action. Canada will still a British possession, and they felt Britain would not defend it. They were incorrect; the American invasion was easily repulsed, the British troops went on defeat the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg, to burn Washington, DC, but were finally defeated by Andrew Jackson at New Orleans - a week after a negotiated peace treaty was signed in London.
