There were three "moments" of New England secessionist activity prior to the 1830s: - Brief episode in 1785-6 over Jay-Gardoqui negotiations involving Mississippi River and Atlantic fisheries, etc. - documented in my A Wilderness So Immense - Another better organized episode in 1803-1804 in reaction to the Louisiana Purchase - story also told in that book - Hamilton-Burr duel has a connection . . . - Better known movement toward Hartford secessionist convention of 1815 in reaction to War of 1812 - covered by many historians starting with Henry Adams.
