Boston: Stebbins, 1813. Pamphlet opposing the War of 1812 written by Massachusetts lawyer John Lowell (“A New England Farmer”) and member of the Federalist Party.

Federalists saw the War of 1812 as a war aimed at Canada and unworthy of support because it served no role in protecting American commerce or defending the nation's frontiers.
