Editorial annotation
General-reference encyclopedia article, consulted via citation, on the 1814 Hartford Convention, at which New England Federalist delegates, amid opposition to the War of 1812 and the earlier Embargo Act of 1807, debated grievances against the federal government; some advocated secession, but the convention's outcome favoured constitutional amendments proposed by moderates rather than secession.
