Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is B. A group of young politicians called the War Hawks wanted to restore national honor by leading an invasion of British-held Canada.

Explanation:

The term War Hawks was used during the debate leading up to the War of 1812 to designate parliamentarians in favor of the war against Britain. His invention is often attributed to prominent Virginia congressman John Randolph, tenacious opponent of a US war against the United Kingdom and its colonies (Upper Canada, Lower Canada, Nova Scotia, Bermuda, and Newfoundland). The parliamentarians of the war-friendly group belonged to the Democratic-Republican Party and were mostly from the southern and western states of the United States. They were also part of the older group of Congress. They defended the war against Britain because of the interference of the British Navy in US shipping activity, which undermined the economy and hurt the country's prestige. The landlocked states of the West were not directly affected by the problem, but their representatives believed the British were urging the frontier Indians to attack American settlers. Therefore, they also defended the invasion of British Canada, aimed at ending threats and punishing the British.
