Objective: Compare and contrast Republican and Federalist policies between 1800 and 1820.

In this discussion exercise, you will compare Federalist and Republican policies and theories. Are the two groups simply a recasting of Federalist/Anti-Federalists of the 1780s or is it something new?

Evaluate the policies from the perspective of the following (based on the first letter of your last name):

• A southern planter that grows rice or cotton (last name beginning with A to H).
• A pipe manufacturer in New England (last name beginning with I to N).
• A tavern owner in Philadelphia (last name beginning with M to R).
• A family farmer in the Old Northwest now known as the Midwest (last name beginning with S to Z).
