Answer 9

Yes, I am sure. The main purpose of the Hartford Convention was indeed to protest the war with Britain (the War of 1812). The attendees were primarily concerned about the economic difficulties and political discontent in New England caused by the war, and they discussed various grievances and proposed amendments to the Constitution. The convention is often viewed as a manifestation of the Federalists' opposition to the war and their decline as a political power in the aftermath.
