Slavery was the first big issue for the Republican Party-- the party was formed mostly of people against slavery. When the Whigs split over slavery, most of the anti-slavery Whigs joined the Republicans.
Those opposed to Alexander Hamilton's programs were known as the anti-Federalist Party...later the Republican Party, then the Democrat-Republicans.
The Federalist Party died out because of internal divisions, opposition to their policies, and the rise of the Democratic-Republican Party led by Thomas Jefferson.
The Federalist Party ended due to a combination of factors, including internal divisions, opposition to their policies, and the rise of the Democratic-Republican Party. The party's support for a strong central government and elitist views alienated many voters, leading to a decline in popularity. Additionally, the party's stance on issues such as the Alien and Sedition Acts and the War of 1812 further weakened its support, ultimately leading to its demise.
The Federalist Party shrank after 1804 because of internal divisions, opposition to the War of 1812, and the rise of the Democratic-Republican Party led by Thomas Jefferson.
The key factors that led to the fall of the Federalist Party in the early 19th century were their opposition to the War of 1812, which was unpopular among the American public, their support for strong central government, which was seen as too authoritarian, and the rise of the Democratic-Republican Party under Thomas Jefferson, which offered a more appealing political platform to voters.
