In a public address sent to Congress in the response to the declaration of war, the Massachusetts House of Representatives declared that: “An offensive war against Great Britain, under the present circumstances of this country, would be in the highest degree, impolitic, unnecessary, and ruinous.

Many New Englanders opposed the war for political, economic, and religious reasons.

  • The Embargo Act of 1807 failed to resolve the situation with the United Kingdom.
  • Britain refused to revoke the Orders in Council (1807)
  • War hawks among the Democratic-Republicans felt compelled to persuade the US government to declare war on the British.

In the United States, particularly in New England, the War of 1812 sparked widespread opposition. New England Federalists opposed the war because their livelihoods depended on trade with Britain.

They were well aware that the war would disrupt trade, causing them economic harm. The Federalists threaten to secede or leave the Union later in the war, forcing Madison to seek peace.
