I was starting a timeline, in which the USA gets hammered in the war of 1812, due to Alexander Hamilton surviving the duel which killed him OTL and James Madison deciding that he didn't want to become President. In a case where Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia all fall, and James Monroe was captured, would the emboldened Hartford convention choose to secede?
edit for clarity: In this TL Monroe is the 1808 President instead of Madison, explaining why the USA does worse.
