Political differences between the north and south before the civil war?

Answer 1

The federalist were more from the north. They were led by Alexander Hamilton, believed wealthy and well educated should lead the nation, favored a strong central government, emphasized manufacturing, shipping, and trade, they favored a loose interpretation of the Constitution. They were also pro-British, favored a nation bank, and a protective tariff. The Democratic-Republicans were the opposite. Led by Thomas Jefferson, believed people should have political power, favored strong state government, and emphasized agriculture <----!!! Strict Interpretation of Constitution, Pro- French, opposed national bank and protective tariff. Tariff= tax on foreign goods

(This information is incorrect for the question. Federalism basically began to end at the start of the War of 1812, and disappeared in 1815, during the Era of Good Feeling. This information could be counted as correct for the Revolutionary War or some other war taking place in the late 1700's or the early 1800's, but the American Civila War did not start until 1861.)
