dec 15, 1814 - Hartford Convention

Description:

A series of meetings in which the Federalist Party discussed their various grievances, including the Louisiana Purchase and Embargo Act of 1807. They discussed repealing the 3/5 Compromise and requiring a 2/3 vote for admission of new states, declaration of war, and laws restricting trade. The Battle of New Orleans brought disgrace to the Federalists by making them seem anti-American, and was the source of the party's downfall.
