November 23, 1814
BOSTON PATRIOT, Nov. 23, 1814 The front page has a very large graphic headed: "Comparative View of the AMERICAN CONFEDERATION with the Hartford Convention States.", which lists each state and their population and square miles. The Hartford Convention was an event in 1814–1815 in which New England Federalists met to discuss their grievances concerning the ongoing War of 1812 and the political problems arising from the federal government's increasing power. Despite radical outcries among Federalists for New England secession and a separate peace with Great Britain, moderates outnumbered them and extreme proposals were not a major focus of the debate (Wikipedia).
Various items concerning the War of 1812 on pages 1 & 2. Four pages, margin tears with some chipping, evenly toned, one old tape mend and a few archival mends inside.
