Elections to the United States House of Representatives for the 14th Congress were held at various dates in different states between April 1814 and August 1815 during President James Madison's second term.
This election happened in the middle of the War of 1812. The war was extremely unpopular in certain regions, particularly New England. The failed American invasion of Upper Canada (Ontario) and the 1814 Burning of Washington were embarrassing military setbacks, but the Democratic-Republican Party remained dominant and the declining Federalist Party was unable to convert war opposition into political gain.
