Why was the Hartford Convention called?
Was when New England radicals met and talked about the idea of secession to preserve the industry and business of New England. Occurred in 1814 during the war of 1812 with England. New England wanted to remain loyal to Britain
What happened at the Hartford convention?
The Hartford Convention was a series of meeting in Hartford, discussing grievances about the War of 1812. The main topics were New England's secession (which was never acted on), removing the three-fifths compromise, and the American relation with Great Britain and France. Nothing much happened other than these talks.
Why didn't new englanders farm for a living?
The geography and climate of New England was not fit to farm many crops, like the South was. New Englanders depended on shipping and manufacturing, which made them industrialize after the Industrial Revolution.
What caused the death of the federalist party and the impression that new englanders were disloyal?
The death of the federalist party had a lot to do with the fact that all of their great leaders had died and no one new stepped up. President Madison was pretty much the last outstanding federalist and he was shot in a duel. That shot is said to be the mortally wounding shot to the federalists. As for New England, it is all about the Hartford convention. There were there was some talk about secession, but it is mostly exaggerated by the history books. (they mostly talked about 2/3 vote in congress for war and tariffs)
