TIMELINE
- Federalist and Anti-federalist newspapers
- John Adams becomes president
- Alien and sedition act
- Thomas Jefferson becomes president
- Alexander Hamilton starts new anti-Jefferson newspaper
The federalists newspaper was the gazette while the anti-federalists newspaper was Aurora. The publication of these newspapers helped to spread word of both political parties ideas. Anti-federalists did not get enough support so John Adams, federalist, became president. John Adams issued the Alien and Sedition act which banned criticism of the government and gave the power to the national government to imprison or deport immigrants who were considered "dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States." These acts were made to lessen anti-federalist support since most immigrants were in favor of the anti-federalists. This unfair law gave strength to the anti-federalists and they were able to get Thomas Jefferson elected as a part of the anti-Federalist Party. Alexander Hamilton kept slamming Jefferson for everything he did but it didn't really work out in the end. Newspapers soon spread throughout the USA.
