He was graduated at Dartmouth in 1802, received the degree of D.D. from that College in 1835, and at his death was its oldest graduate. After studying theology in Hancock, New Hampshire, he was ordained, on 14 April 1805, as Dr. Daniel Hopkins's colleague in the pastorate of the old South Church, Salem, where he remained till his death, a period of sixty-seven years, being sole pastor from 1816 till 1849. Dr. Emerson was an able and vigorous preacher, and published various sermons, addresses, and orations, including a sermon on the fiftieth anniversary of his ordination.”
New England’s bitter opposition to the War of 1812 led to the infamous Hartford Convention in 1814-15, where secession from the United States was discussed.
