Answer 1

Answer: Southern and Western Congressmen whose nationalistic rhetoric took on belligerent tones against Britain

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Napoleonic Wars, the British and the French imposed several measures on American trade in order to keep America from trading with either the French or the British as both were at war with each other. The British went so far as to forcibly recruit American sailors into British ranks.

America was humiliated and led to the rise of "War Hawk" Congressmen from the South and the West who called for war with Britain. Their constant lobbying for this war contributed in no small part to the War of 1812 against the British.
