The Hartford Convention, held in 1814-1815, highlighted the growing sectionalism in the United States, particularly between the North and the South. New England Federalists gathered to discuss their grievances against the War of 1812 and proposed constitutional amendments to limit the power of the federal government, which they felt was dominated by Southern interests. The convention's perceived disloyalty and the subsequent decline of the Federalist Party exacerbated regional tensions, reinforcing the idea that different parts of the country had distinct political and economic interests. This deepening sectional divide ultimately contributed to the conditions leading to the Civil War.
