Because with all the new states appearing in the South and West, New England would begin to lose their political influence.
It established the potential for states to secede from the republic
A meeting of members from a larger convention who secede and organize their own convention elsewhere.
The plan to have New England secede from the Union was primarily associated with the Hartford Convention, which took place during the War of 1812. Delegates from the New England states convened to discuss their grievances against the federal government, particularly regarding the war and economic policies. While the convention did propose potential amendments to the Constitution, the idea of outright secession was not formally endorsed, and the convention ultimately lost momentum after the war's conclusion.
Was when New England radicals met and talked about the idea of secession to preserve the industry and business of New England. Occurred in 1814 during the war of 1812 with England. New England wanted to remain loyal to Britain
No, the Hartford convention was when the federalists wanted to succeed from the U.S. because they wanted to side with Britain during the french revolution but when the U.S. stayed neutral the federalists wanted the U.S. to loose the war of 1812 so when the U.S, won that war the federalists looked like traitors and they went back to Britain causing the federalist party to disappear.
The plot to have New England secede from the Union and form a separate Northern Confederacy is often associated with the Hartford Convention, held in 1814-1815. A group of Federalist politicians from New England gathered to discuss their grievances against the federal government, particularly regarding the War of 1812 and economic issues. While some delegates did consider secession, the idea was ultimately rejected, and the convention's proposals were largely ignored, leading to the decline of the Federalist Party.
SI: The New England states considered seceding from the Union because of the War of 1812. By the end of 1814, the New England states were not happy that the War of 1812 was still going on. New England merchants and shippers suffered financial losses because of the War of 1812 and the embargoes that preceded the war. The New England states even threatened to secede from the Union because they felt that the federal government was not acting in New England's best interests. Delegates from the New England states convened in Hartford, Connecticut on December 15, 1814. Their meetings continued until January 5, 1815. The New England states did not secede, but they did come up with five amendments that they thought should be added to the Constitution.
Southern Democrats are members of the U.S. Democratic Party who reside in the American South and they walked out of the first democrat convention in 1860 because they wanted to secede and there was much opposition!
New England states were the Union. They were all in the North and did not secede.

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. for more information on the current movement i recommend http://www.vermontrepublic.org/ and http://www.newenglandconfederation.org For a little more on Historical Secession http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secession#Northeast_United_States_and_the_Hartford_Convention
Yes, it was. They were the country that the colonists were trying to secede from.
