- 1804 Massachusetts plotted to secede and tried to get New York to withdraw from the union and establish a "Northern Confederacy".
- 1807 Embargo Act New Jersey was going to secede due prohibition of foreign trade
- 1814, delegates from several New England states threatened to secede over President James Madison's war policies against England.
- 1844, the Massachusetts Legislature threatened secession when Congress started debating whether to admit Texas into the Union.
