During the Hartford Convention, the New England Federalist
made several demands due to their concerns of the War of 1812. They demanded several things such as the
secession of New England, removal of the Three-Fifth Compromise as well as
their complaints about the Louisiana
Purchase and the Embargo of 1807. When
news of Andrew Jackson’s victory at the Battle of New Orleans broke out over
the Northeast, it discredited the Federalist Party and they lost their power as
a political force in American politics.
