War+Hawks

War Hawks were Democratic-Republicans and were primarily from southern and western states. The term "War Hawk" was coined by the Virginia Congressman John Randolph of Roanoke. War Hawk was originally used to describe members of the Twelfth Congress of the United States who advocated waging war against the British in 1812. The War Hawks didn't stand any kind of bullying against the British and they felt that America should stand up and defend its national honor. The long term effect for this is that the War Hawks sparked a great deal of patriotism in our country. The War Hawks had a tremendous impact. They influenced the United States to fight against the British in the War of 1812 and win. Which led to our country as we know it today. Without a doubt in anybody's mind, the War Hawks had a positive influence and were tremendously liked for what they did.
