Jefferson wanted to make sure they didnt go to war because he was afraid that the war between them and Britain would affect Trade rights more than they already were.

The British were kidnapping American merchant sailors, forcing them to serve the Crown. The War Hawks believed that the U.S. should obtain as much foreign land as possible and that the U.S. should be separated from British influence.
