What is the closest point in New England that would allow me to canoe to the Mississippi River?

I live in New England and wondered if there is a series of rivers or tributaries that would allow a person to canoe to the Mississippi River. I looks like I can hop on Tenmile Creek in Northern WV. Portaging for 1 – 2 miles is OK. Thanks.

What was a typical meal in the mid 1800's in New England?

Hosting a meal in an 1830′s house. Would like to make it traditional but cannot find any information on what types of meals were standard fare of the mid 1800′s. Just thought of this and don’t have much time (only 3 weeks) to plan. 10 minutes ago – 3 days left to answer.

Why was new england considered disloyal during the war of 1812?

I understand a bit about the "Hartford convention" but im having a hard time understanding why New England was considered disloyal? Did they oppose the war then act on it?
