Federalists, like today’s Republicans, had little faith in their ability to maintain their grip on power. That's why they attacked newspapers. It was a strange target: Three-quarters of the nation’s publications in 1795 had a Federalist bias

At the height of its power, when the Federalist Party controlled virtually everything in the country, they unnecessarily and viciously targeted both immigrants and the press. The disastrous outcome should give today’s Republicans food for thought
