The Federalists drew their support from primarily urban areas, while the Democratic Republicans drew support from rural regions. Although there was not a strict geographic divide between the parties, the North would eventually develop more in line with Alexander Hamilton's Federalist vision of the nation (strong central authority, emphasis on developing industry and finance) while the South would follow Thomas Jefferson's Democratic-Republican model (agriculturally based economy, decentralized government).
