From here.
QUOTE
Republican presidential hopefuls are re-embracing their party’s hawkish roots as the threat of Islamic terrorism rises.


QUOTE
Founded in the Northern states in 1854 by anti-slavery activists, modernizers, ex-Whigs, and ex-Free Soilers, the Republican Party quickly became the principal opposition to the dominant Democratic Party and the briefly popular Know Nothing Party. The main cause was opposition to the Kansas–Nebraska Act, which repealed the Missouri Compromise by which slavery was kept out of Kansas. The Northern Republicans saw the expansion of slavery as a great evil.


Opposing slavery = hawkish roots.
