What's your thesis?
-
The plot for New England secession
-
at the Harford Convention.
-
That's so weird.
-
- Thanks. - No, that's not what I mean.
-
No one writes about the unrest in the militia
-
when Madison took the troops from the border
-
and put them in Albany.
-
Only because succession was never an imminent reality.
-
Well, yeah, but I mean, if the convention had gone another way,
-
the government couldn't have stopped New England
-
from splintering off the military force.
