In US history, a meeting of Federalist party
delegates from Dec 1814 to Jan 1815 (at the
end of the War of 1812) in Hartford,
Connecticut. The meeting considered
amendments to the US Constitution and the
possibility of secession from the union in
response to the adverse economic effects of
the war on New England. The end of the war
forestalled further action.
