Federalist War

The Federalist War refers to the conflicts that arose during the early 19th century over the approval of the U.S. Constitution. Federalists supported a strong central government, while Anti-Federalists favored states' rights. Tensions led to debates and political clashes, including the suppression of opposition voices in some cases. Although not a traditional war, the term highlights intense political struggles during the nation's formation, which ultimately resulted in the adoption of the Constitution and the establishment of federal authority.
