Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • Like many of the war hawks, Clay was a Westerner.


  • He was committed to the expansion of the boundaries of the United States.


  • Like other war hawks, he engaged in aggressive and overheated rhetoric.


  • He also agreed with other war hawks that Native Americans were an inferior and irredeemable race.


  • Clay agitated for a war with Britain. He believed such a war would eliminate both the British threat to American trade on the high seas and the Canada-based IndianBritish alliance.
