The people of Connecticut were in large part opposed to the War of 1812. Governor Griswold, who served in office during 1811 and1812, had advocated earlier that New England secede from the Union. In this message, Griswold argues that the federal government had no right to take over and deploy the Connecticut state militia against the British, an argument that he lost.
