Question

Check Point #2:What were the things the Federalists and the Democratic Republicans

Answer 1

The Federalists believed that American foreign policy should favor British interests, while Democratic Republicans wanted to strengthen ties with the French because they supported the French government that took over in 1789. Democratic Republicans wanted to protect the rights of the working class. Federalists saw industry and manufacturing as the best means of economic self sufficiency. During the War of 1812, the Federalists didn’t agree with the war because it would damage their trade with European countries. Most Americans saw the War of 1812 as a victory over Britain so by 1816 the Federalist party died out.
