Question

How did the War of 1812 affect the Federalist Party?

Answer 1

Answer:

Numerous Federalists opposed the war because many of these men earned their living through trade. The conflict hampered the Federalists' ability to exchange with England. ... With the signing of the Treaty of Ghent in 1814 and the end of the War of 1812, many Americans viewed the Federalists as traitors.

Answer 2

Answer:

The outcome of the War of 1812 weakened the federalists party, but the philosophy of a strong national government was carried on by the War Hawks, who were apart of the republican party. Some of the causes of the war were because of British army's taking workers off American ships to work on theirs. Also because the west believed it was Britain's fault for the Indian attack for giving them guns.
