The main purpose of the Hartford Convention, which took place in late 1814 and early 1815, was to protest the war with Britain and the impact it was having on New England's economy. Delegates from New England states gathered to express their grievances against the federal government, particularly regarding the War of 1812. They sought to address issues such as trade restrictions and the economic hardships caused by the war.
