New England, or Parts of it, has threatened to secede numerous times. Most famously it was considered by delegates to the Hartford Convention during the War of 1812. The Massachusetts Legislature latter threated to secede over the admission of Texas to the Union, and the later over the Mexican War. Moreover there is currently a strong secession movement in New England with the Second Vermont Republic garnering support from a significant portion of the states populace, and smaller but growing organizations in Maine, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, as well as a growing amount of cooperation between them.
