dec 15, 1814 - Hartford Convention

Description:

The Hartford Convention was a series of meetings held in Hartford, Connecticut, by Federalist delegates from New England states who were dissatisfied with the federal government's handling of the War of 1812. The convention discussed grievances regarding the war and proposed several constitutional amendments aimed at increasing New England's political power, but the timing of their demands, coinciding with the end of the war, led to a decline in the Federalist Party's influence.
