Answer:

Known as the “War Hawks,” they were mostly young politicians from hailing from the West and South. Led by new Speaker of the House Henry Clay, this small group of Jeffersonian Republicans pressed for a military confrontation to redress American grievances.

I hope this helps you, let me know if i'm incorrect. I'll correct myself in the comments.
