In 1814 New Englanders at the Hartford Convention were making thinly veiled threats at secession in protest to 'Mr. Madison's War." Then, Southerners struck the nationalist pose (emphasis added) (Emory M. Thomas, The Confederate Nation, 1861-1865)Isn't that why there was a union - to protect the states against FOREIGN aggressors. Massachusetts and Connecticut refused to provide troops for the war.
