You need some serious study in American history before you post here it is embarrassing to read what you write it is SO wrong

ROTFLMAO!!! Give it up Ace, I beat you fair and square. Your revisionist rant is bogus, to say the least.
Washington a Federalist? Washington himself denied adherence to any faction.

They did NOT "meet their end with the War of 1812" the party was effectively destroyed in election of 1800. Hamilton's death in 1804 was the final blow.

Remember the Hartford Convention of 1814? That's where the Federalists won the stigma of treason! The party under Rufus King carried only Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Delaware in the election of 1816, and quietly died in 1828.

Federalists tried to suppress Republican opposition to the undeclared war on France by prosecuting newspaperman Thomas Cooper and Republican congressman Matthew Lyon under the sedition act.

You are probably even unaware that Washington ended their long friendship and stopped communicating with him after he left his cabinent because of the lies Jefferson's pressitutes were spreading about him.

Ok, I've pretty well shot my wad of reading material, so I don't know of what you speak...Can you reference this statement?

How can you beat me by posting one falsehood after the other which I then correct? Like the Federalists wanted to RE-write the constitution? That is one of the lamest comments I have ever seen.

George Washington was the Federalist candidate for the Presidency in 1792, Adams VP. George Clinton and Thomas Jefferson were the anti-Federalist candidates. Washington's policies were those of Hamilton, the Federalist supreme. He actually ran Washington's administrations and three years of Adams.

Federalists were destroyed by 1804 anything after that was shadow without substance.

The A&S Acts were rather trivial in real impact unfortunately they did allow the RATS to howl and whine and convince sufficient dumbasses to vote for them. Hamilton opposed them to no avail. As I said the state laws were much worse and were used by the Jeffersonians to prosecute those who spoke against his administration. So much for TJ's belief in freedom of the press. Hamilton, however, defended those accused in their trials.

Any competent biography of Washington will reveal the disdain in which he came to hold TJ. But it sounds like you avoid these like the plague and rely on Encyclopedia articles for your historical knowledge. That helps explain why it is so shallow.

Now that you have been corrected again you can declare another victory.
