  5. A War Hawk Speaks… • Felix Grundy of Tennessee was one of the most outspoken War Hawks in Congress. In December 1811, he gave an emotional speech on the benefits of war: • “This war, if carried on successfully, will have its advantages. We shall drive the British from our continent—they will no longer have an opportunity of intriguing with our Indian neighbors …. That nation will lose her Canadian trade, and by having no resting place in this country, her means of annoying us will be diminished…. I therefore feel anxious not only to add the Floridas to the South, but the Canadas to the North of this empire.” • — Felix Grundy, Annals of the Congress of the United States, 12th Congress, First Session
