Federali$t Era
America needed a new government
The
AOC couldn’t be kept
It’s failure swept
The founding fathers determination
Along with their cooperation
Formed the constitution,
New style of leadership was brewin’.
The constitution has been ratified,
The country stands, tall in pride
America first began hitting its strides
These next years were crucial for our democracy
The government wanted to keep our citizens free
Right to assemble, freedom of speech
All these things we needed to preach
The constitution has been ratified,
The country stands, tall in pride
America first began hitting its strides
Republicans, scared of a monarchy
Promoted state’s rights, unlike the british hierarchy.
The federal power was too much
State power was not strong enough
Changing the constitution would be tough
So a rare arrangement was clutched
The bill of rights was added to keep republicans hushed.
The United states, drowning in debt,
Hence
Hamilton, in he stepped,
Founding federalist fathers, an agreement they met,
founding a national bank, the economy couldn’t tank.
Tariffs, assumption, funding at par;
these innovations would push corporations far.
The country was taking massive steps towards industries,
What about the agrarians, they didn’t agree with these
Whiskey rebellion, enticed by the excise-
Tax,
Washington told the farmers to relax
GW- said call me
Mr. President,
Only went two terms,
Set those precedents,
He said keep neutrality,
Don’t go into wars,
Have pride in nationality
Save soldiers from the horrors
Keep national unity,
Partisanism is a bore
Our freedom of trading enraged the english
They impressed our sailors, saying join us or be diminished
Jay’s Treaty made an agreement
We couldn’t trade with britain’s assailants ,
we had to pay british merchants
US citizens showed their resentment
After two terms he rode off into the sunset,
On the back of his horse nelson
In politics a feud posed a threat
Between Hamilton and
Jefferson
A
Resolution was never met
Bipartisanism emerging in the sect
The constitution has been ratified,
The country stands, tall in pride
America first began hitting its strides
All this comes to show that washington was right when he said don’t fight
The constitution has been ratified,
The country stands, tall in pride
America first began hitting its strides
In came a new president,
John Adams
His intellect reached down to many fathoms
Early in, relationships with
France became a scare
Adams sent representatives to the
XYZ affair
The French would only talk with a bribe
The United States would not abide
Federalists and antis fighting for power
Their relationships quickly turned sour
Rural republicans hated the central superpower
Republican votes came from the immigrants
A new law by federalists was imminent
In order to make the republicans inarticulate
Feds passed a law to hurt the aliens and seditionists.
The republicans knew that this was full of bull,
The acts were soon declared unconstitutional
In order to keep our freedom immutable
The republicans got their idea of a solution
By the kentucky and virginia resolutions
The constitution has been ratified,
The country stands, tall in pride
America first began hitting its strides
Goodbye Adams, hello TJ
Republican power was here to stay
What comes next? We don’t know
Era of Good Feelings? I wouldn’t say so.
