Hartford Convention
>> December 15th, 1850
State's Rights
A meeting to consider the problems of New England in the War of 1812; held at Hartford, Conn. Prior to the war, New England Federalists had opposed the Embargo Act of 1807 and other government measures; many of them continued to oppose the government after fighting had begun. Although manufacturing and contraband trade brought wealth to the section, “Mr. Madison’s War” and its expenses became steadily more repugnant to the New Englanders. The Federalist leaders encouraged disaffection.
