The New England states did not support the War of 1812 because they would lose money and trade. Mostly Jeffersonians and agriculture interests supported the commercial reasons for the war.

Southern agriculture suffered from the British policies more so than the Eastern merchants. Some westerners also believed that the British were stirring up the Indians in the Northwest, to attack American settlers.
