    The answer is War Hawks. This is consists of young Westerners and Southerners elected to the Congress of the United States in the year 1810, who has territorial ambitions in the Florida and Northwest that inspired them to start a war with Great Britain. Included in this group are the future political leaders namely John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay who have aggressively resented the American national humiliation and economic injuries during the Napoleonic Wars. They were indignant over the encouragement of the British to the Indian hostilities toward the people setting in the Northwest who were hoping to use such war against England to wrestle Florida from Britain's ally, Spain. This became a contributing cause of the War Hawks in the War of 1812.
