Excerpt from Records of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia: Called Out by the Governor of Massachusetts to Suppress a Threatened Invasion During the War of 1812-14

New England experienced very little actual war within its borders, yet it felt its pressure heavily in the paralysis of its peculiar industries, the continual drain upon its wealth of men and money, and the wasting excitement caused by constantly impending menaces and a sense of insecurity. From the spring of 1813, until the close of the contest, British squadrons were hovering along our coasts, and threatening the destruction of our maritime cities and villages. The year 1814 was a specially trying one for New England. The British government had determined and prepared at the beginning of that year, to make the campaign a vigorous, sharp and decisive one on land and sea.
