Baloney the anti-federalists were generally corrupt state officials seeking to preserve their power at the cost of the Union. Had they had their way the Union would have been still-born and destroyed in its cradle.
Their insipid writings are of little value other than examples of the idiocy which the true patriots, the Federalists, had to face. Their victory in overcoming this crew of meatheads was one of mankinds' greatest achievements.

I dunno, it was my understanding that the Federalists at the time were regarded as the radical hippies of the era. It is pretty crazy to look back and see what a huge risk they were taking. I am glad that they took those risks because it worked out so well. But to be honest if i was living at the time i probably wouldn't have supported them.
