There were 2 main political parties back in the late 1700's and early1800's. The first one was the Federalists. The Federalists were wealthy business men. They were led by Alexander Hamilton. The second party was the Democratic-Republicans. They were mostly small farm owners. The Republicans were led by Thomas Jefferson.
The Federalist policies of the Adam's administration were not supported by a majority of the voters. The Alien and Sedition Acts were especially singled out as bad policy. By the time of the Election of 1800, the Federalists had lost most of their supporters with the exception of New England.
The main similarity that both the Whigs and the Democrats shared during this time period was their goal of having a prosperous Uninted States. They differed in their plans on carrying out this goal. However they were also mass-based "catchall" parties who worked very hard to amass many voters by associtating themselves with the "comman man".
Look up Radical Republicans and traditional Southern Democracts during Reconstruction. The Radical Republicans wanted equal rights for freed slaves and they also wanted a tougher stance against the South. They wanted to punish the South for causing the war. Hope this helps! :)
The legend is that the gods were divided - some supported Troy, others supported the Achaean invaders.

The Democratic Republicans hated it because they thought it was violating the defensive alliance with France and the Federalists actually supported it.
