15 janv. 1815 - Federalist Downfall
Description:
The news of Britain's crushing defeat at the hands of Andrew Jackson and his men reached the cities of the Northeast and reports began to arrive citing a negotiated peace between the two warring countries. As the celebration of American triumph flowed throughout the nation, the Hartford Convention and the Federalists came to seem futile, irrelevant, and even treasonable. This failure regarding the secession effort served as a virtual death blow to the Federalist Party, effectively dissipating the minority left in the nation.Ajouté au bande de temps:
