jan 1, 1815 - Hartford Convention
Description:
The Hartford Convention was a meeting of federalists who wanted New England to secede from the union. The Convention failed and the federalists fell form power. This event is significant because it shows that seceding from the union is something Americans would perceive as completely radical, a part of our political culture. These moments are what make America a federalist, not a confederalist state.
