Explanation:

• Question 5: After the Battle of Tippecanoe, Americans were angered to find that the British had armed the Shawnee (a Native - American tribe) with guns. This was seen as British interference in American - Native American relations.
• Question 6: Many Americans in the South and West wanted to expand into Canada. They saw it as a land for growth and also as a way to deal with British - related issues (like Native American support from the British, as Canada was a British colony).
• Question 7: Congressmen who wanted war with Britain were called "War Hawks". This nickname was used to describe their aggressive stance towards Britain.
