Doves opposed the war whereas Hawks were in favor of it

Explanation:

The use of the terms "dove" and "hawk" are animal metaphors to describe people's positions regarding a conflict. Dove is automatically associated with peace and people who opposed the war(such as Edward Kennedy or Martin Luther King) were described as such whereas the hawks( an agressive animal) were those who thought the war was good.
