The "British Freikorps" is a false name given to the "British Free Corps" and is incorrect.
The "British Free Corps" was a small unit in the "Waffen SS" made up of prisoners of war.
A detailed description and information is available on the link below.
____
The Freikorps were bands of right-wing mercenaries active in 1919-1920 and later. They fought against Communists and people they thought were Communists.
The most notorious was the Marine brigade or Ehrhardt brigade which was also rabidly anti-Jewish.
Others were "Freikorps von Oven" Freikorps Görlitz" and "Freikorps Hülsen".
Note that in 1813-14 the Freikorps fighting as units of the Prussian army against Napoleonic France were something quite different and perfectly honourable -volunteers who fought without pay and provided their own weapons. The best known was Lützow's Freikorps.

What did the freikorps want?
The Freikorps were originally just volunteer militias formed before and during the Napoleonic era. Presumably you are referring to the post-World War I Freikorps. They were groups of German war veterans who came back from the war and didn't like how things were. They often fell into believing the "Stab in the back" legend- they believed that communists and socialists had caused Germany to quit the war even though the German Army wasn't defeated (yet- it was definitely on its way to losing). A lot of them were unable to adjust to civilian life after the horrors they had just experienced, so they banded together into these paramilitary groups and fought mainly against communists. Most held right-wing political beliefs, and became valuable members of right-wing political parties, including the Nazi Party especially in its early days (during the Night of the Long Knives in summer 1934, some of the former Freikorps leaders were killed).

How were the Spartacist defeated?
The Spartacist uprising, led by Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg in January 1919, was defeated by the Weimar government through the use of the Freikorps, paramilitary groups composed of World War I veterans. The government viewed the Spartacists as a significant threat to its authority and stability, prompting a swift and violent crackdown. The Freikorps effectively crushed the uprising within a week, resulting in the deaths of many Spartacist leaders, including Luxembourg and Liebknecht, and solidifying the government's control. The defeat marked a significant setback for the German socialist movement and contributed to the political polarization of the Weimar Republic.

Were the spartacist a branch of the nazi party?
No. They were German communists. In early 1919, they tried to start a communist revolution in Germany, which failed, in part because right-wing ex-soldiers called Freikorps attacked them. Interestingly, many early members of the Nazi Party were part of the Freikorps.
Why did the Freikorps hate the Jews?
Oh, dude, the Freikorps were a right-wing paramilitary group in post-World War I Germany. They were all about blaming Jews for their problems because, you know, that's totally logical and not at all ridiculous. They basically just needed someone to blame for their issues, and unfortunately, they chose to target the Jewish population. Like, come on, guys, get it together.
