The War Hawks were a group of young, influential Democratic-Republican politicians in the early 19th century, primarily from the South and West, who advocated for war against Britain leading up to the War of 1812. They were motivated by factors such as British interference with American trade, impressment of American sailors into the Royal Navy, and a desire to annex Canada. The War Hawks believed that war was necessary to assert American sovereignty and promote national honor. Their push for conflict ultimately played a significant role in the decision to declare war in 1812.
