Hubby, who used to teach American history, reminded me of the #HartfordConvention from 1814-15. #Maine, #Massachusetts, #Vermont, #Connecticut, #NewHampshire and #RhodeIsland had considered leaving the union and forming their own "independent republic" in opposition to "political problems arising from the federal government's increasing power. "

Excerpt:
"Some delegates may have been in favor of New England's #secession from the United States and forming an #independent republic, though no solution was adopted at the convention. Historian Samuel Eliot Morison rejected the notion that the Hartford convention was an attempt to take New England out of the Union and give treasonous aid and comfort to Britain. Morison wrote: 'Democratic politicians, seeking a foil to their own mismanagement of the war and to discredit the still formidable Federalist party, caressed and fed this infant myth until it became so tough and lusty as to defy both solemn denials and documentary proof.' "

Hoping to find good Mexican food in #Connecticut tonight. I know it's going to work out. Three tries haven't, but I'm feeling good this time. Coming from NC, one of the hardest things to find near Hartford has been good Mexican food. You may ask "are there a lot of Mexicans in CT?" And the answer is no. Maybe I should be looking for Puerto Rican food instead? (I don't know much about PR cuisine.)

I dream of finding good Cuban food, but I'm not holding my breath. I miss Copa so much…
