Congressmen from New England and some Mid-Atlantic states opposed the War of 1812 due to their strong economic ties with Great Britain, which were threatened by war. Many were concerned that conflict would disrupt trade and harm their shipping industries. Additionally, they feared that the war would benefit Western and Southern interests at the expense of their own. This opposition was further fueled by a sense of regional identity and a desire to avoid the economic hardships that war would bring.
