A historic Anti-Masonic convention centered on a long keynote condemning the order and urged support for the ticket in a Baltimore rally style address. The Morgan case sparked national attention, investigations, and violent press, influencing Andrew Jackson’s White House bid and the 1832 campaign dynamics.
