Federalists disappeared shortly after the War of 1812 because many of them did not support the war. The war proved that the US had a strong central government which is why the Federalist existed in the first place.

Answer 2

Wikipedia actually has a pretty consice explaination in the article: "Whig Party (United States)" "The party was ultimately destroyed by the question of whether to allow the expansion of slavery to the territories. With deep fissures in the party on this question, the anti-slavery faction successfully prevented the nomination of its own incumbent President Fillmore in the U.S. presidential election of 1852; instead, the party nominated General Winfield Scott, who was soundly defeated. Its leaders quit politics (as Lincoln did temporarily) or changed parties. The voter base defected to the Republican Party, various coalition parties in some states, and to the Democratic Party. By 1856, the party had lost its ability to maintain a national coalition of effective state parties and was third, trailing the Democratic and Republican parties in the popular vote."

Answer 4

After the War of 1812 ended.

The Federalists never held power again after 1801. Their failure is attributable to the Republicans' political skill and to the Federalists' own incapacity or unwillingness to organize politically, their internal divisions (especially between supporters of Adams and Hamilton), and their aversion to compromising principles for the sake of winning elections. Furthermore, New England Federalists adopted a divisive policy of sectionalism, moving dangerously near secession in 1808 and strenuously opposing the War of 1812. By 1817 the party was practically dead, though the opposing Republicans had adopted the Federalists' principles of nationality and had accepted many of their economic ideas.
