Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Hartford Convention: With a Review of the Policy of the United States Government, Which Led to the War of 1812
Occurrences of this kind, with others of a more serious and portentous description, seemed to indicate, in a clear and convincing manner, that the time had arrived when the public at large should be better informed on the sub ject of this convention. The objects for the accomplish ment of which it had originally been convened, and the able and most satisfactory exhibition of their labors con tained in their report, which was published by them to the world at the moment of their adjournment, have long been lost sight of, and forgotten. With this is connected the extraordinary circumstance, that besides the members themselves, no individual, except a single executive officer of the body, had any means of knowing What passed during their session. That officer was the only disinter ested witness of what was transacted by the convention. He was present throughout every sitting, witnessed every debate, heard every speech, was acquainted with every motion and every proposition, and carefully noted the result of every vote on every question. He, therefore, of necessity was, ever has been, and still is, the only person, except the members, who had the Opportunity to know, from personal observation, every thing that occurred. His testimony, therefore, must be admitted and received, unless he can be discredited, his testimony invalidated, or its force entirely destroyed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the contentious legacy of the Hartford Convention, a gathering of delegates from New England states in 1814, during the War of 1812. The author argues that the event has been unjustly maligned, often by those unfamiliar with its true purpose and proceedings. The book meticulously examines the political landscape of the early American republic, specifically the tensions between the Federalist and Anti-Federalist parties. It dissects the policies and personalities of key figures, notably Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, exploring their competing visions for the nationââ â¢s future. The author also analyzes the role of the Hartford Convention in the context of the war with Great Britain, arguing that it was a response to the perceived injustices of the federal government. The authorââ â¢s examination of the Hartford Convention goes beyond a simple recounting of events, delving into the motivations and principles behind the assemblyââ â¢s actions. It sheds light on the anxieties and concerns of New Englanders at a time of great uncertainty and offers a nuanced perspective on the eventââ â¢s place in the larger narrative of American history. The book provides a compelling and thought-provoking account of a pivotal moment in American history, exposing the complexities of the political and ideological struggles that shaped the nation's early development.
