Hello,

In case there's not already a thread on this site about this, I wanted to create one for the purposes of learning more about the Hartford Convention.

I'm wondering:

a. if anyone can tell me whether secession was in fact discussed and considered at Hartford and provide quotes from the debates to prove it.
b. if anyone can tell me whether Madison or any of the others from the founding generation said or wrote anything about the events
c. if it is true that Madison moved troops to Albany to put down a secessionist force

Below is the record of the proceedings and letters about it.



I want to ultimately read it myself, but don't have the time right now due to taking full time college classes, working full time, and studying for the LSAT.
